I see my albums as working diaries, as living scrapbooks of me and my life.

I'd love to act. I feel that it's another naked, mysterious challenge, like jazz. It kind of intrigues me in the same way.

I am searching for the truth. Somewhere, it's in the music.

I wanted to be a cheerleader, like my sister was - all the most popular and beautiful girls are cheerleaders and I wanted that, and it demolished this vision of myself. That's when I found the piano, when music saved me; that's when I first attempted to write my own songs.

I'm used to adversity and working really well in difficult situations. It was hard for me to accept the success

The river was always there inside of me, but I was very shy. I could see that this was my path. I felt destiny in my own music.

Being a writer is a very private, internal process. Ultimately I am more the writer, being an introvert.
