I should have a therapist. I have plenty to therapise about.
In college I had a weekend gig at a restaurant, a solo thing that was the best practice I could have ever had. That's where I learned to coordinate my singing and my piano playing.
There are absolutely no problems between me, my dad and my sister. Obviously I grew up with just my mum, but my relationship with my dad is just fine.
Your limitations create your sound.
My mom and I have always been very close. She is my best friend. She had to make a lot of sacrifices early on in my life to make sure I got to do what I wanted to do.
Without a piano I don't know how to stand, don't know what to do with my hands.
I love my dad and we have a very good relationship now.
You would never catch me in a miniskirt.
I want to check the record books and see how many fathers and daughters have won Grammys together.
A lot of my music is slow and subtle. The subtly is what I enjoy about making music.
The pop world is cool, but I never really thought of myself as part of it or wanting to be a part of it because I'm on a label that's not really like that. They're not trying to dress me up, they're not trying to do things like that. I feel like I'm sort of separate from that, actually.
I could do without 'cool' publications calling me 'mom jazz.' But I laughed all the way to the bank, baby.
I make a good fried chicken.
I don't actually have a lot of discipline. I've worked hard at music. But I feel like you know, I felt like kind of natural at it. I always had a knack for it.
