I walked away to get wisdom, but in the end I just walked home.

I try to get enough sleep and exercise, try not to make mountains out of molehills, and vent a lot. I have a good team to support my work. I also do lots of mundane things, which will center me.

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.

When I was a kid, for me, the '60s seemed so far away. But I was actually born in the late '60s.

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

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

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.
