"... one of the most remarkable of Londoners, not merely trilingual in Persian, French + English, but genuinely tricultural, too. She has written brilliantly in both French + English, made a reputation for herself as a singer + composer in the French cabaret style, and been a tireless advocate of Sufi wisdom + Persian classical literature, in exile from a country that seems to be bent on destroying both." Joan Baez

"The verb 'to love' in Persian is 'to have a friend.' 'I love you' translated literally is 'I have you as a friend', and 'I don't like you' simply means 'I don't have you as a friend'." The artist must always have one skin too few in comparison to other people, so you feel the slightest wind." "Of all the musical instruments, the human voice is the most beautiful, for it is made by God."
