Music is fun. It should be fun. And that's the key, I think. Keep it as the thing you love.

Sometimes when you're trying to do a record too close to home, you can get really distracted.

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.

The coolest thing I've gotten to do in the past few years is guest star on Sesame Street.

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.

I just want to make my music, and I want it to stand on its own.

You would never catch me in a miniskirt.
