मुझे नहीं लगता कि किसी को भी अपने सपनों का कभी साथ छोड़ना चाहिए। रास्ते में मुश्किलें ज़रूर आएंगी, लेकिन हर अनुभव कुछ न कुछ सिखाता है और आखिरकार सब कुछ अच्छे के लिए ही होता है।
I don't think that anyone should ever give up on whatever it is that they dream of. Obstacles will come their way, but everything is a learning experience and it all works out for the good anyway.

एक कलाकार के तौर पर जब आपको यह पता चल जाता है कि आप असल में कौन हैं, तो वह एहसास बहुत सुकून देता है। तब मुझे खुद नहीं पता था, मैं बस अपने और अपने परिवार के लिए एक बेहतर ज़िंदगी चाहती थी। मैं गाना चाहती थी, लेकिन एक कलाकार के रूप में मैं क्या बनना चाहती हूँ, यह मुझे नहीं पता था। उन तमाम अनुभवों ने मुझे यह समझने में मदद की कि आज मैं कौन हूँ, और मुझे इस बात का अहसास हुआ कि आखिर किस चीज़ से मुझे सच्ची खुशी मिलती है—और वो है जब मैं गिटार उठाती हूँ और गाने रिकॉर्ड करती हूँ।
It's a good feeling to be at a place where you know who you are as an artist. I didn't know back then, I just wanted to give my family a better life and myself. I wanted to sing, but I didn't know as an artist who I wanted to be and because of all those experiences, it helped shape me into who I am and what I've now realized and what it is that brings me happiness which is when I pick up the guitar and do records.

आप ज़िंदगी में जो भी अनुभव से गुज़रते हैं, वही तय करते हैं कि आप आखिर कौन हैं।
Every experience that you go through kinda shapes who you are.

किसी एल्बम को हिट कराने के लिए मुझे अपने सीने की नुमाइश करने की ज़रूरत नहीं है। मैं बस जैसी हूँ वैसी रह सकती हूँ और अपने पसंद के गाने गा सकती हूँ।
I don't have to have my tits out to try to sell some kind of record. I can just be me and give songs that I'm into.

मुझे लगता है कि अगर आप अपने प्रति सच्चे रहें, तो आप हमेशा जीत सकते हैं।
I think you can always win if you're true to yourself.

मुझे लगता है कि संगीत उद्योग कभी-कभार बहुत मुश्किलों भरा क्षेत्र होता है। लेकिन फिर भी, अगर यह वह चीज़ है जिसे आप बेइंतहा प्यार करते हैं, तो आप इसे चाहकर भी छोड़ नहीं सकते।
I think just the music industry sometimes is a very tough business. But still, if it's just something you just love dearly, you really can't just put it down.

लोगों का यह कहना और दिलचस्पी दिखाना कि "हम तुम्हारे नए गाने का इंतज़ार कर रहे हैं," वाकई बहुत प्रेरणादायक और हौसला बढ़ाने वाला होता है। यही चीज़ मुझे आगे बढ़ाती है और मुझे याद दिलाती है कि मुझे संगीत बनाना क्यों पसंद है, क्योंकि अपनी इस कला के तोहफ़े को उन लोगों के साथ बाँटने से बढ़कर कोई खुशी नहीं हो सकती जो इस कला की उतनी ही कद्र करते हैं।
For people to even be interested and to reach out and say "I can't wait for you to come out with something", it's just so inspiring and motivating. It just keeps me going and it reminds me of why I love to make music because there's nothing greater than to use the gifts you have and share it with people who have that same affinity for the art that you give.

सकारात्मक और हौसला बढ़ाने वाला फीडबैक मिलने जैसा सुकून कुछ और नहीं है। मैं बस इसी चीज़ के लिए जीती हूँ। मैं सचमुच बस अच्छा संगीत बनाना चाहती हूँ। मैं मैग्ज़ीन के कवर पर आने के लिए या सिर्फ़ शोहरत के पीछे नहीं भागती। मैं रिकॉर्ड बेचने या दुनिया का सबसे बड़ा पॉप सॉन्ग बनाने की होड़ में नहीं हूँ। मैं तो आलोचनात्मक सराहना (क्रिटिकल क्लेम) चाहती हूँ। मैं चाहूँगी कि जिन कलाकारों को मैं अपना आदर्श मानती हूँ, वे कहें "मैंने तुम्हारा गाना सुना।" हज़ारों लोगों की भीड़ के बजाय मैं ऐसे छोटे से क्लब या जगह पर परफॉर्म करना पसंद करूँगी जहाँ दो लोग भी मुझे चाहने वाले हों। वैसे अगर हज़ारों लोग आ जाएँ तो ठीक है, पर मैं यह सब अपने लिए करती हूँ।
There's nothing like getting feedback that's positive and supportive. That's what I'm all about. I'm really just genuinely doing good music. I'm not looking to be on the cover of magazines and I'm not in it for the fame. I'm not in it for selling or the biggest Pop song in the world. I have to go for critically acclaimed. I'd rather go for my peers that I look up to say "I listen to her record." I'd rather do a small little touring venue that has two people who support me as opposed to thousands of people. I mean if it happens, it happens but I'm doing it for me.

जब आप कम उम्र के हों और मुँह में चांदी की चम्मच लेकर पैदा न हुए हों, तो आप क्या करते हैं? आप वही सब करते हैं जिसके बारे में आप आश्वस्त हों कि इससे आपके परिवार और आपकी ज़िंदगी बेहतर होगी। मैं भी बिल्कुल वहीं थी। मैं गाना चाहती थी, और यही वो चीज़ थी जो मैं अच्छे से कर सकती थी। उस वक़्त मुझे इसका मतलब पूरी तरह समझ नहीं आया था। इस सफ़र के दौरान मुझे समझ आया कि इसका असल मतलब क्या है और मैं वास्तव में क्यों गाना चाहती हूँ।
When you're young and you don't grow up with a silver spoon in your mouth, what do you do? You do stuff that you're positive about to help you better your family and your life. That's basically where I was. I wanted to sing, that's what I knew I could do. With that, I really didn't know what that meant. Along the journey I realized what that meant and why I wanted to sing.

जब कोई मुझसे आकर कहता है कि "मैंने तुम्हारी आवाज़ सुनी और मुझे यह सचमुच बहुत पसंद आया," तो वह बात सीधे मेरे दिल को छू जाती है, क्योंकि यही वो काम है जिससे मुझे प्यार है। मैं यह सब किसी मशीन या कंपनी के लिए पैसे कमाने के वास्ते करने के बजाय लोगों के लिए करना ज़्यादा पसंद करूँगी।
That one person that says "I heard your stuff and I really like this." It really touches my heart because it's what I love to do. I'd rather do it for the people than do it for a machine, a company that just wants to make money.
