Mary's quotes taken directly from SING:
Anyone who is born with vocal cords has the capability to speak and sing. I believe the voice is a spiritual channel. It opens up a universe of communication, creativity, and intimacy through sound and vibration.
Singing is born out of speaking.
Your voice technique is in your emotions, and your emotions are in your voice technique.
It's great to have your eye on the prize, but the definition of the “prize” must change. High notes may be an important part of your instrument, but every note well-lived is the prize that makes the high note special.
An artist sees the blessing in every childhood hurt. The path to excavating, feeling, and triumphantly liberating those pains becomes the very food of artistic greatness. It's a way. A process. A journey. A doing. It brings your life closer to your full potential as an artist. Some paths are more treacherous than others, but all have worth. It's individually yours.
