good highly longer might music perhaps serve
So I'm writing more highly personalized and intellectual music, and I think that's good. It might take longer to find me, but I think that niche is perhaps underserved, so I'm going to serve that.
paula trying
I'm still trying to find out who Paula Cole is. I always am - and I always will be - my real, inside self, which has no name.

bothers break everest female hard less mount people solo whether
People have become less discriminating listeners, which is tragic, really. There's a lot of emperor's new clothes out there, whether they're female or male solo acts. That bothers me. It's hard to break through, and it's like climbing Mount Everest if you actually do.

I like women who can throw a ball and laugh loud and have some spine, and I like men who don't mind cooking dinner.

I see my albums as working diaries, as living scrapbooks of me and my life.
stars eye rose
I struggled with being in the public eye, losing my anonymity when my star rose quickly in the late 90's. But I need the challenge of showing up and getting up there to spill my guts and connect with my loyal folks.
thinking giving family-reunion
I think of my shows as family reunions. I give 100% every time. I just do. It's a huge therapeutic release. Also I love my touring family. And I love my audiences very much.
ocean wings age
I was curious and hungry at a young age, and jazz was such a mystery to me, an ocean where you can express yourself in the moment. It represented freedom, it represented wearing wings and going somewhere with music.
