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

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 make sure to sleep eight hours, and I'm much better about eating, because I'm not standing in front of my pantry. I go to the market and pick up little carrot nubs.

My overnight success was really 15 years in the making. I'd been writing songs since I was 6 and playing in bands and performing since I was 14.

I love playing in Japan! It's always like being in the ancient past and the future at the same time. And the fans sing along to every word.

Too much to ask for may leave me feeling lonely. Too little leaves me nothing.

I'm old-school. I want to be there to drop off my daughter at school and pick her up.
