I do a lot of reading on Buddhist philosophy, and a Buddhist nun named Pema Chödrön talks a lot about acceptance. It's one of the main tenets of Buddhism - accepting that what is, is. The root of our suffering is when we just don't want to accept a truth. We want something to be different than it is.

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.

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.

I feel like I'm on the precipice - just seeing a better version of me coming out.

The struggle is to stay present enough when you're taking your next step forward that you're really making your most honest choices.
