”Toni Braxton: From the heart”. www.bluesandsoul.com. Arkiverad från originalet den 23 maj 2010. https://web.archive.org/web/20100523095713/http://www.bluesandsoul.com/feature/538/ms_impulsive/. Läst 1 mars 2022. Originalcitat 1: "It comes from when I got ill. I went into cardic rehab, and there was this older lady there. She was like 'What are you doing here so young? It must have been your heart. You know what? This is my fourth heart-attack and you're so young, you can't be AFRAID! You can't stop LIVING!'... Then she told me how she'd just got back from holiday with her 40-year-old boyfriend! And because I'd lost hope – the doctors had told me I'd never be able to record again – her conversation was like that heartbeat, that pulse that gave me back the love of life." Originalcitat 2: "Well, this album was therapeutic for me. In fact, it's probably the most personal album I've ever done in my entire CAREER! Because my husband and I - even though we're still best of friends - recently separated. So because of that, recording this album around that time was a bit challenging for me. Like with the song 'Woman', I had a session booked - and I called and CANCELLED it! I was like 'I can't DO this song right now! I just don't feel like being emotional today, and that song is my LIFE! ... So yeah, a lotta the songs on there do reflect the things I was going through at that time." Originalcitat 3: "For me it was important that this album was organic, plus I wanted it to be indigenous of who I am as a performer. So I was like 'I'm not gonna think like a record company; I'm not gonna think like an industry person' I'm gonna be an artist and do music that I love, and find music that I can identify with! You know, because I've been in the game for a long time, I'm comfortable with being older and a little wiser. And I wanted my music to reflect that."
