I would love to make a real jazz album someday because I never have. But that's something I'm not in a rush to do.

For me making music is part social, part interaction, part collaboration.

I remember early on, for instance, having to play wedding gigs, that I hated playing the music. Now I don't have to play music that I don't like. I only get to do what I enjoy, so that's pretty lucky.

There was an enormous amount of pressure when my first album took off, and I struggled with the speed of everything and the exhaustion from the constant touring.

Music is fun. It should be fun. And that's the key, I think. Keep it as the thing you love.

I could do without 'cool' publications calling me 'mom jazz.' But I laughed all the way to the bank, baby.

During my first photo shoot, I was unhappy because they put so much makeup on me and straightened my hair. I've been stubborn ever since.
