I asked my designer friend, Sam Klemick, to make a headdress for me, drawing inspiration from 1920s headpieces, Athena and Joan of Arc. Before each show, I have this quiet meditative moment where I put the headdress on and gather my thoughts and strength.

I'm all for skinny jeans, a flowing blouse, patterned flats and chunky jewels.

I would love to play with Rufus Wainwright. He's one of my favorite songwriters.
