The women in my family are all super-emotional. The catchphrase in our family is 'Listen to my words, not my tears.'

I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your rain.

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

I know that I'm very susceptible to getting caught up in storylines like, "I want him to be different. I want him to be more open. I want him to call." We have all of these storylines that kind of take over sometimes, and I think there's real grace and a peaceful heart at the center of just accepting what is, and knowing that everything's OK. The good, the bad, the ugly, the pain, the hurt, the frustration - all of that is valuable and part of this human experience, so we should lean in to all of it.

Compare where you are to where you want to be, and you'll get nowhere

When I look back, I was so mean to myself, and I was so uncomfortable in my own skin. I still feel that very loudly sometimes, but to try and really nurture that sense that you are your own friend.

I never played coffee shops; I just played a lot of coffee shop-sized venues. I took every venue I could get my hands on.
