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

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.

Making records is fun. It's not some big statement. You're allowed to make mistakes.

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.

All is fair in love and songwriting.

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.
