“The thing I like about singing duets is that I get things out of my vo...” — Linda Ronstadt Quote

The thing I like about singing duets is that I get things out of my voice I never get singing by myself.

I'd go over to my grandmother's house, and she'd be playing opera. They loved opera. Not only did they play it on the radio, but they played it on their piano. Everybody learned how to read music and how to play.

I've never been happy with the quality of my work. I always felt as though my musicianship was lacking and that I should have worked harder at it when I was younger. As I sang and sang, I improved.

I always say if music can't make you cry, you're a hopeless case. I don't cry very much myself, but it's my job to make you cry.

But duets are a lot of fun, I'd love to do another one.

For me, there is no point in doing a duet unless it is organic or there is an emotional thru line.

When Elton John sang a duet with the white rapper Eminem on a Grammy telecast, rap went mainstream. Massive parental headaches followed.

You do get into a groove, which is great, when you get to act with the same people a lot. Like with Caroline Catz - it's like a duet: you're like a duo jamming together.

I don't write duets - I write songs for my voice.
