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.

It's fun to peek into other people's worlds and see how they go about doing things.

It's funny how you realize what's important, and it's not fame and money, even though it can be really nice. It's happiness and whatever it takes to make you feel happy.

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

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

Success and the art of making music are two different things for me.

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.
