When I was a kid, for me, the '60s seemed so far away. But I was actually born in the late '60s.

The shows are so different from each other, depending on whether I play with my band, Nine Stories, other musicians, an orchestra, only one or two members of my band.

Where I grew up in Dallas, things might be a little more traditional. People have the same things in mind. They're supposed to grow up, go to college, get a job, get married, and have children, grandchildren. That's the world I grew up in.

In order to handle my emotional pain I talk to friends about it, I write, I breathe, and most of all, I put it in perspective.

The guys in my band are great-we watch movies, we eat pizza, take walks, read books. Everybody has a really great sense of humor. And my boyfriend comes and visits me on the road.

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.

As a musician, you never understand why people connect with certain songs.
