There's no ego when you're a ukulele player.

I know a few chords on the guitar, but I wouldn't be able do a show or even be part of a jam session with one.

When you go into the studio or get up on the stage with people who have more experience or knowledge, you learn.

Sometimes I can't think of a better way to end my day than coming home and just strumming my ukulele for a few minutes. I mean, I joke around and tell people that it's an entire yoga session in one strum, you know?

I actually got to perform for Queen Elizabeth, and I got to meet her after the show. She said she thought my performance was beautiful and I got to shake her hand and it was just an incredible moment.

Blues, rock and hip hop are more about a lifestyle and culture than notes on a page.

The ukulele totally fits that whole hipster community or whatever you want to call it, but then at the same time it works great in nursing homes where senior citizens get together and play, and then as the traditional Hawaiian instrument with people doing the Hula and strumming the ukulele and singing.
