Everything changes in every genre, whether it's pop, rock or country.

I was a liberal arts junkie and I figured, well, I'll go work for somebody somewhere. All I knew was that I was going to have to come home and figure it out.

I don't really remember my folks singing to us, but they read to us.

My sisters and I were fortunate to travel through Asia and Europe at very young ages. We confronted extraordinary beauty in Athens and unspeakable poverty in India.

I like to feel that every day or most days, I do a little bit of writing. I am a creature of habit in terms of the way I live.

When I think of the artists I admire and seek out musically. It's because I'm curious about where they're going to go the next time they have a chance to put a record out. It's not about where I find them on the radio dial, or how many records they're selling.

It's a marvelous feeling when someone says I want to do this song of yours because they've connected to it. That's what I'm after.
