I don't try to sound like anyone but me anymore. If something is out of my element, I try to avoid it.

I don't go about playing music differently. It changes my sleeping schedule and my drinking habits, that's what I like to say.

Your limitations create your sound.

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

Everyone in my high school was a bit nerdy. We didn't even have a football team.

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.

What I was going for in the first two albums I didn't necessarily achieve. Because I was young and because it was my first time out. And the second album was such a 'quickie' sort of 'Let's just get it over with!' But the kind of music I make, there's a lot of subtlety in it. And I think it takes a couple of listens to actually really get it.
