Carolyn (On Michelle Wright's influence):Michelle Wright doesn't know this, but she was a real inspiration to me. I was one of her fan club members, and I was at her show one night at a meet-and-greet when my boyfriend asked her, 'Do you think Carolyn should take singing lessons?' She replied, 'That's a very good thing, but I think you should sing and sing and sing until you find your own voice. Find out what your strengths are and what it is you do best.' From that day on, I took that I can do only what I can do, and I'm going to do the best with what I've got.
