There is an assumption that if you're young and pretty, you will get all these opportunities that are way beyond your musical foundation.

Whoever you are, if you know what you're doing, you don't want other people to overtake the merit of your art.

You can grow up with literally nothing and you don’t suffer if you know you’re loved and valued.

Jazz has always been a melting pot of influences and I plan to incorporate them all.

When people say, "Oh, she plays like a dude," it's usually dudes who are the ones saying it. They're saying, "Oh, she's as good as us." Of course, that's a stupid statement.

I am insubordinate by nature. I can't help it.

Jazz music just resonates with the frequency of me.
