I always wanted to make a children's album because you have the freedom to explore so many wonderful topics and sounds.

I love albums that have guest performers that the audience will be happy to hear. It's really a bonus!

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

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.

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 don't think I can tell any stories about how I lived in a van in Alaska. I grew up in the suburbs, I even had my own room. We weren't poor. Everything was very normal.
