Without a piano I don't know how to stand, don't know what to do with my hands.

Maybe I'm genetically more inclined to music - but the music I make is so far removed from Indian classical music. I grew up in Texas!

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.

I'm not melancholy; I'm a happy-go-lucky person, kind of silly. I like funny things. I have a lot of energy. I tend to like music that's mellow, though.

Designers send me clothes I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing.

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.

I'm always going to do that - record and make music.
