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

Just watching my cats can make me happy.

Our planet is a tiny atom in god's kingdom.

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

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