In college I had a weekend gig at a restaurant, a solo thing that was the best practice I could have ever had. That's where I learned to coordinate my singing and my piano playing.

I don't think it's a bad thing to share how you feel, especially if people can relate to it.

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

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

I'm not trying to conquer Hollywood. I love my day job.

For me, there's a fine line between being a cheeseball and being a good performer.

I like my life. I like my friends. I don't want to go anywhere else.
