I tour with a piano, actually. Luckily I am able to hire people that deal with it completely and magically a piano appears on stage and then magically disappears when I leave.

A lot of people give in to those pressures and let others influence the process on their second albums because they want to achieve the success they had with their first again, but they don't know how to do it.

I have gone from being a 21-year-old with wide eyes to a 24-year-old woman. With success comes a lot of responsibility and power.

Plus, there were so many pianos in my house, so I couldn't really avoid it.

I work hard and I will always work hard. But I feel very lucky with the way that it has all come together.

But my mom was a pianist, and she taught piano out of her house. I was just so excited, being a little kid and having all these other kids come to my house twice a week. I thought it was a big party.

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.
