A friend of mine once told me that I can't screw up when I play my own music. I also take voice lessons, play other peoples' songs out of music books, and occasionally figure out how to play other people's music from records. This keeps my ears, fingers, and mind working

Also, I'm always learning better and better how to prioritize and how to leave certain things for the next day.

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

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

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

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.
