I write in bed, too. I find it very comforting. I want to sort of, like, crawl in a fetal position if I have to.

I can't stand films that make the kids out to be heroes and the parents to be imbeciles.

I think that it is real important for someone to be really honest and open emotionally. I'm really an emotional person. If I'm that way and the guy isn't that way I just really feel like a jerk.

I grew up in a home filled with music and had an early appreciation of jazz since my dad was a jazz musician. Beginning at around age three I started singing with his band and jazz music has continued to be one of my three passions along with acting and writing. I like to say jazz music is my musical equivalent of comfort food. It's always where I go back to when I want to feel grounded.

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

All of the advice that I give, I'm not an expert by any means, but it's just my opinion. So if somebody likes me or likes y style or my career, I think they should have that feeling.

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