I listen to music mostly in the evening. I've come to love what is called world music, like the Zimbabwean Oliver Mtukudzi and the Colombian singer Marta Gomez. I also love the Irish folk singer Mary Black. Other favorites include Chet Baker, Eva Cassidy, and Billie Holiday. ↗

I listened to Billie Holiday a lot in order to learn to sing. She remains one of the extraordinary jazz singers. But my intent is to become my own voice, to be able to interpret these songs in my own way. ↗

Billie and I did wonders for women's tennis. They owe me a piece of their checks. ↗

When Billie Holiday sings a song, I hear the song, but I always hear her and her truth. ↗

The one thing about Billie is he will snap and rip your head off if you point anything out at all other than how beautiful he is and how nice he looks today. ↗

I love oldies just kind of sweet, slinky, Fifties music. The slow stuff. And Billie Holiday. ↗
