I never sit down to write or say, "Today, I have to record something." I wait to hear it and then I go for it.

The most important thing for me is the moment, going from one thing to the next and hitting all the different levels and different points that make the whole what it is.

I used to do plays and some television commercials when I was younger. I guess my mom's being an actress got me interested in that, but music definitely took its place.

There are so many people that don't believe in themselves and don't have faith.

We should take time out to really love; we should take time out to find out who we are.

When I make music, I play it, I produce it, I write it. It's a very self-centered thing, not in a negative way. But I primarily work by myself, that's my process. When I'm acting, I'm there to serve the director and the character. I'm here to give you what you need. Communicate that to me and I will do what I need to do to get that. So that's what it's about.

My career has been a gradual climb. I think that's part of the reason why I've had longevity.
