Ive learned from dieting and not dieting that literally the thing that works best for me is that if I think of it, I better go ahead and have it.

One of the things that's influenced me musically was my experience at Brown University. I was surrounded by musicians that I really admired, and felt challenged to come up with music, lyrics, and recordings that stood up to the expectations of those musicians and myself.

The smell of roses, my children's bright eyes and smiles, laughing with my husband, walking on the beach, using my hands to do crafts or play guitar, brainstorming, and drinking coffee, really good coffee.

I use my cell phone as much as I can - I talk to friends all the time. I'm like 2,000 hours a month. It's crazy

With all the things that you could be, you never could learn how to be me.

You get to a point in relationships where you don't want to push anything, but things need to change, move on, or develop.

I have three siblings. My sister makes music. My older brother is a classical conductor, and my younger brother is a mixing engineer.
