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

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

I struggled with being in the public eye, losing my anonymity when my star rose quickly in the late 90's. But I need the challenge of showing up and getting up there to spill my guts and connect with my loyal folks.

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

Just watching my cats can make me happy.

I was curious and hungry at a young age, and jazz was such a mystery to me, an ocean where you can express yourself in the moment. It represented freedom, it represented wearing wings and going somewhere with music.

I want to sit with my legs wide open and laugh so loud that the whole damn restaurant turns and looks at me.
