You know, when you have a father who's pretty well known but you don't see him, the last thing you want to do is start talking about him all the time to people.

In college I had a weekend gig at a restaurant, a solo thing that was the best practice I could have ever had. That's where I learned to coordinate my singing and my piano playing.

I'm not trying to conquer Hollywood. I love my day job.

Nobody was listening when I learned how to play music. But there's something about being on stage, talking to the audience, looking at them and smiling, that's always been difficult for me. I'm a lot more comfortable now, but there are still moments of awkwardness.

I wasn't very aware of pop music because I attended an arts school. For me, it was all about jazz.

I'm not a great piano player.

A lot of pop people out there are cool, but they overdo it.
