All is fair in love and songwriting.

Songwriting is something I really need to work on. I don't have very many songs but I really love it. I would love to be a great song writer some day.

I had success early on where I'm able to try to keep it fun, and I don't have to do things just for the sake of making a living, which a lot of my musician friends don't have that luxury of course.

It's important to keep indie record stores alive because their unique environments introduce music lovers to things in a very personal way.

I'd done recordings, little demos, since I was in college, which I used to get gigs. But I never thought I'd have a record label.

On the first album I was saying, that's just one part of me. And then I was thinking, well, am I going to hide the rest of me now just because I'm afraid of something? No. I'm just going to be myself.

I used to be a jazz snob, believe it or not. I sort of turned my nose up at anything more commercial.
