For as long as we can trace back human life, there's always been some sort of music - ceremonies, rituals. It's part of the human makeup.

I think kids who have music in their lives are more focused. They have better attention spans. They excel more in their studies. They have a better sense of self-esteem and self-worth.

Music to me is something that I didn't choose; it was a necessity. I grew up with music, my father is a musician. It makes me happy; it makes people happy.

Being in a room with other people's energy yields such a different result. I love writing by myself still, but there's something amazing about sharing that experience with someone else.

I didn't grow up in a naked household, but nudity was not a taboo thing. My mother was an artist and there were naked sculptures and paintings all over the place.

I've never been one to get up on a soapbox and preach. I just live my life the way I live my life.

When you're writing with someone else it helps you think of things you never would've thought of.
