My mom would give me a piece to play, but I wouldn't do any theory because when it came time to do it I would sneak back upstairs and watch TV. So, I had these kind of nonchalant lessons for years, then it just started soaking in.

I went horseback riding and got a big chunk of horse manure kicked into my face. It has a way of slapping you right back into reality.

I don't put boundaries on myself when I sit at the piano.

My songs are a direct route into my brain and my heart.

I did not stop dancing; I did take two years off to get myself together.

The music industry is so easy compared to the ballet world.

Well, I would say that music just happens with me, I'm not in the driver's seat when I am at the piano, the piano is.
