I played classical as a kid.

I don't really marinate in anybody's album because I don't really want to sound like anybody else when I put my album out. So I'd rather not even be tempted to listen to a bunch of other stuff with any degree of emersion in it, cause I just don't want to sound like anything else, so I kinda focus on my own music.

If a few people decide not to buy my album it's really not going to change my life that much.

I like cool jackets - a nice fall or winter coat. You can get a lot of use out of it, and you'll wear it frequently, so it can really set the tone of your uniform for the season.

My family is very musical, I was surrounded by it. And from four years old I was the one that asked my mother could I take piano lessons.

I only want to be associated with music that is high quality. That's my main criteria.

No matter how big or successful and famous you become, if you do that, that's the most fulfilling thing, is making music that you love and that you're proud of.
