I'm so grateful that I can play and that I can execute what I hear in my head, because that's the tricky part.

My music comes from many, many, many places. My emotions, my feelings, my thoughts, and conversations I have with people I know who influence me.

It's not until I hear songs that I've done, that I realize how much of an inspiration music from the '60s and '70s has been.

The element of fire to me is very powerful because of what it symbolizes, how it symbolizes a strength. It symbolizes something that's unstoppable. You can't get through it, you know.

I've always valued the input of the people I love. So in the past, whenever I'd make a decision - what to wear to an event, whether to pursue a job opportunity - I'd consult those closest to me, like my mother, husband, or manager.

Risk the fall to know how it feels to fly.

My life is rich because I have those kinds of people in my life.
