During my first photo shoot, I was unhappy because they put so much makeup on me and straightened my hair. I've been stubborn ever since.

I hope there are some audiophiles still out there.

I think singing comes most naturally for me. Because it's part of your body - it's a natural thing. You can practice all you want but it's part of your body.

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 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.

I'm happy. I feel good about music.

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