"I always thought there were going to be things in my life that would go away, like beauty, youth, all of that stuff...But I never thought that my voice would leave me, because it’s so inherent to my nature. It was my identity. So when I couldn’t sing, that was unbearable. There were times I couldn’t even get out of bed – I was so depressed."
