I'm not going to play lead guitar in a concert hall full of people, because I'm going to mess up a lot.
For me, there's a fine line between being a cheeseball and being a good performer.
For me making music is part social, part interaction, part collaboration.
I feel like all the songs are little scenes, different angles, of the feelings that come around something ending.
I had very modest expectations when I first moved to New York. I didn't even expect to get a record deal.
I just want to keep making music, recording and trying different things. I don't want to do the same thing all the time.
I like records that flow really well and you don't have to skip around because there's lot of different jumps.
I really love things with melody.
God bless Ray Charles. It was such an honor to meet him and sing with him and actually just to watch him sing from just two feet away.
I should have a therapist. I have plenty to therapise about.
Come away with in the night Come away with me And I will sing you a song Come away with me on a bus Come away where they can't tempt us With there lies I want to walk with you On a cloudy day In fields where the yellow grass grows Knee-high So won't you try to come Come away with me and we'll kiss On a mountain top Come away with me And I'll never stop loving you And I want to wake up with the rain Falling on a tin roof While I'm safe there in your arms So all I ask is for you To come away with me in the night Come away with me.
I could do without 'cool' publications calling me 'mom jazz.' But I laughed all the way to the bank, baby.
I like songs with a lot of heart and feeling and subtlety.
I'm always going to do that - record and make music.
