In my fantasy I was always the savior. I would come to 'Peanuts' land and save everybody. Charlie Brown would fall madly in love with me. Peppermint Patty was so jealous.

Redheads get so stereotyped. You're either exotic and wild or totally Victorian.

I went to national piano competitions and did that whole circuit. Then I played professionally to support myself when I moved out to LA.

I don't know that I'm actually bipolar, but I definitely have huge mood swings, and I'm definitely passionate about the way I feel. I'm not really lukewarm one way or the other.

It occurred to me the other day that I've made out with more people on camera than I have in real life!

I compose my own stuff. I've been writing songs with words. I've been playing more on the keyboard because I can transpose it to sheet music on the computer.

I don't feel special. I was just full of energy and loved to learn.
