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

There are many different ways to look at a situation, and it's important to look at things the way they are.

I love when people in culture show up on fictional TV shows. I don't mind at all being a name from the '90s.

When all the stars were falling, they fell from above, and I thought of hate, and I thought of hate, and then I thought of love.

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.

I learn so much from writing with other musicians, asking questions about their playing style and gear, and hanging out, too.

There's a variety and depth to the song topics I get to write about in children's music and books: being able to write about things I wouldn't normally write about, like a disappointing pancake, or monsters or opposite day is really different than writing about heartbreak and relationships.
