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

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

For a young artist to really make it and make money is a lot more difficult these days.

I really love things with melody.

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

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

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