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

I eat fish and love bacon. Plus, I don't mind if soups are made with chicken or beef stock, I just don't like eating big pieces of meat.

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.

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

The only way to get vegetables at a diner late night is to order the omelette. A feta cheese and broccoli omelette.

The song "No Fairy Tale" tells my story. Going through the hard things leads to a richer life than just trying to make everything perfect, or worse, pretending things are good when they don't feel right. I've done that more than enough times.

I think people are always nostalgic for a time about 20 years before they were born.
