I have found so much joy and so much pride in contributing and being a team member, and then stepping back and watching someone else get the applause. That has been really satisfying in a way that I wouldn't have probably imagined.

I love the morning time - a cup of coffee and to sit at the piano, that's probably my favorite time.

There's really no "bad" people; there's just humans who are doing the best they can to figure life out. It's hard! We can all relate to that.

I think it was the perfect gestation time for this particular piece [ Sounds Like Me: My Life (So Far) in Song]. One of the songs that I considered talking about was "Manhattan," because it was chronicling the end of a long relationship that was part of the reason why I moved from Los Angeles to New York, which was such a life-changing decision. I don't regret that it's not in there, but that's one that I considered diving into, and I have little piecemeal snippets of writing about that floating around

I think it's one of those things about live performance - anything goes, anything can happen, and you have to just be ready and able to roll with the punches.

You can be amazing, you can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug

Say what you wanna say and let the words fall out honestly.
