As a musician, you never understand why people connect with certain songs.
Don't force things to happen. You can work towards things and keep yourself open to things, people, and opportunities, but you can't and shouldn't try to control everything. Also, if you haven't noticed so far, I think sleep is really important.
Also, I'm always learning better and better how to prioritize and how to leave certain things for the next day.
I don't have a very routine life; the kids' activities, our nightly routines, and morning routines are about as routine as it gets. In the middle of it all - other than my morning coffee, toast, and trying to get 7-8 hours of sleep a night - each day is different.
I eat fish and love bacon. Plus, I don't mind if soups are made with chicken or beef stock, I just don't like eating big pieces of meat.
With my daughter, we do arts and crafts, we read a lot, we listen to music, and we cut the strings off balloons and bounce them around after birthday parties.
I'm old-school. I want to be there to drop off my daughter at school and pick her up.
I try to get enough sleep and exercise, try not to make mountains out of molehills, and vent a lot. I have a good team to support my work. I also do lots of mundane things, which will center me.
One of the things that's influenced me musically was my experience at Brown University. I was surrounded by musicians that I really admired, and felt challenged to come up with music, lyrics, and recordings that stood up to the expectations of those musicians and myself.
In order to handle my emotional pain I talk to friends about it, I write, I breathe, and most of all, I put it in perspective.
I have three siblings. My sister makes music. My older brother is a classical conductor, and my younger brother is a mixing engineer.
I want to work on some more complicated baking... and it would be interactive!
My nutritionist always said to eat whatever you want.
When all the stars were falling, they fell from above, and I thought of hate, and I thought of hate, and then I thought of love.
