I think playing music is one of my great joys in life.

A song will keep going round in my brain and keep me awake.

I love film, and I would love to be a part of something that people universally love as a piece of film. Sure. Of course I would. And I would love to take acting lessons, and see that side of it someday. But I'm a musician.

My first two records are so simply constructed. The reason isn't because I wanted to make simple music. It's because I don't really have the chops.

I wasn't a trained Mickey Mouse club performer. I played in jazz clubs and restaurants.

When something's ending, you go through so many phases, and it can be frustrating. But once you're out on the other side, it's like you can really see all the crazy phases you went through.

I had very modest expectations when I first moved to New York. I didn't even expect to get a record deal.
