If you play an instrument, it makes you a better singer. The more you play, the better you sing, the more you sing, the better you play.

I always try to write a song to work things out with myself and I want to do it with a little punchline at the end, because I never want to remember anything bad in my life.

I knew I could sing but I always thought everyone could sing, that everyone was born with a singing voice. Even when I was getting interest from singing, I just thought 'what about all these guys?' Yes, I can sing, I have a good voice but there's so many people that can and do.

I would say that jazz is my own language.

I can play a lot of different instruments adequately but nothing really well.

If I died tomorrow, I would be a happy girl.

I can't help you if you won't help yourself.
