I don't like being alone. I haven't been alone since I got a boyfriend.

Jazz is my comfort music, like comfort food.

I can't' really sing a song unless I really connect with the lyrics.

Sometimes when people have kids young, they're not ready.

My dad has always just had a lot of faith in me as an artist and as a person, and he doesn't really dispense with a lot of advice when it comes to the music. He's taught me a lot over the years, but when I was taking on this project he's really hands-off about that. He just appreciates what I've done and is very supportive, and of course really proud.

I've always been the bookish type, and I've never really hidden that about myself.

I think people assume that women write about the domestic sphere. Women write about relationships and family. Men do, too, but then it's the Great American Novel.
