I think the reason people connect so well with my music is because there is a real connection.

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.

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

I love myspace and sites like that, cause its allowed me to stay connected to my fans. The personal connection remains the same, but as I've grown, it never gets to be too overwhelming. It allows the artist to be as involved as they want to be.

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

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.

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