Honestly I think that the internet is one of the most amazing promotional tools out there. And I think it promotes music getting heard in a grass roots way, where people aren't being force fed to listen to something.

I am pretty involved with everything that goes on, and overtime have learned a lot about the business side of things. I have an amazing manager, who understands the business really well, so he is a great teacher.

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

Where I grew up, surfing was a way for people to celebrate their love and respect for the ocean.

I can't wait to be a mom and a wife, and explore that phase of life. And also see how it affects and influences my song writing and creativity.

When you have fans telling you their stories it makes you feel like you're not alone.

In a perfect world, I would do 3 weeks on 3 weeks off; so that I could always take a breather and come back to music with a fresh mind.
