Never apologize on stage. Most people never notice when you make a mistake or if you are having a bad show.

Over the years I have realized that the mistakes and forgetfulness is what makes live shows more endearing.

Writing music obviously comes from being inspired by things, and big changes in your life, and relationships and growing older and being more independent.

I love being home, reading the paper in the morning and having a cup of coffee, doing laundry, going grocery shopping and running daily errands. For me, it's important to have that balance in my life.

On tour I feel like it's always so go go...you're always just taking in and storing information and feelings and things. So for me I need time off to let all those things come out and settle.

I've always been someone who likes to share and talk. When something happens to me I [don't] run away from it. I want to dive right into and explore it. Try to figure out why it's happening and try to figure out something good that's going to come out of it.

Music was sort of an accident for me. I love to do it. I can't imagine doing anything else.
