I wasn't a trained Mickey Mouse club performer. I played in jazz clubs and restaurants.

I don't want to be the next big anything. I just want to play for people and that's it.

I think singing comes most naturally for me. Because it's part of your body - it's a natural thing. You can practice all you want but it's part of your body.

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

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.

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