Lainie Cooke: Speaking to the Heart
Esther Berlanga-Ryan
Music Journalist, Radio Host & Producer and Voice Over TalentAAJ: How about the perfect song to live in?
LC: No such thing. I don't believe in one perfect anything. I don't believe in perfection. It's too rigid and stagnant an idea. Music and my feeling about a song is always evolving and what feels good this week may not work next.
AAJ: What is your biggest dream?
LC: I guess my biggest dream is to continue to sing and record and have a larger audience to sing to. I'd like to have the kind of life I thought I might have when I was younger.
AAJ: The biggest fear?
LC: Sorry, I don't believe I can share any of my fears. Too private; too personal. And I don't want them out in the wind. They can rest with me as I work them out.
AAJ: What are you most proud of?
LC: I don't really think about it—so this was not that easy to answer. I think I'm proudest of my relationships, my independence, my ability to stay loving.
AAJ: From your heart to ours.
LC: My heart is in everything I sing. If you come to share any of that with me, you know that my heart is speaking to yours and it is saying love is all we have.
