I am blessed to have Mom and Dad.

I feel very honored to be playing with Bill Pierce. He's such a great musician.

I really live a simple life and don't need very much to feel good and happy. Don't get me wrong; I believe you should get what you earn. Sometimes you have to fight for it.

I was playing violin for a long time, about 6 years. It takes a while. You need very patient people in your house when you have a violin.

If you play jazz, then you play with your fingers. If you're playing rock, you use a pick. There's really no rhyme or reason to that other than that's just the way it has been.

Serious musicians are finding it harder and harder to have a voice in the world of music these days.

I can pay my rent now. I guess I could always do that, but now I can get an apartment with heat.
