I want an autobiography without revealing any personal information.

People don't know about the human part of me that really cares about the world. For instance, I don't know what I feel about wearing my furs anymore. I worked so hard to have a fur coat, and I don't want to wear it anymore because I'm so wrapped up in the animals. I have real deep thoughts about it because I care about the world and nature.

I think that if my voice for some reason changes - because your voice does change - then it's time for me not to sing.
