'm the inspiration for picking it up off the floor after it fell off the stool and figuring out a way to make it still work.

I don't interest myself that much.

I love potatoes - they're my favorite food.

I don't spend time wondering what might be next; I just focus on trying to savor every day.

I always want to sing, but I don't always want to be trying to have #1 records. I don't think you can do it forever. I don't know what the time span of that is going to be. I want to sing because I want to sing.

Music is my No. 1 passion. If you made me choose between music and food, it's definitely music.

It's funny, the whole cooking thing came out of just a random thought of writing a cookbook with my mom and my sister for fun.
