Never say never - I certainly have those dreams, and I hope that it happens at some point,I hope I get to see those stage lights.

All my life I've tried to make everybody happy while I just hurt and hide, waiting for someone to tell me it's my turn to decide.

I would never intentionally want to hurt someone's feelings.

I think I'm someone who is really prone to melancholy, and the super heavy, thick shows kind of spiral me out into not being able to be as happy a person as I think I deserve to be, so I tend to watch things like 30 Rock and The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Anything Tina Fey's involved in. And Parks and Rec. I love comedies!

I got really into rock - soft, romantic rock was my jam.

I'm of the ilk of writers that feels you have to be open to the inspiration.

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
