I Remember Early On, For Instance, Having

I Wasn't Very Aware Of Pop Music Because I Attended An Arts School. For Me, It Was All About Jazz.

I Wasn't A Trained Mickey Mouse Club Performer. I Played In Jazz Clubs And Restaurants.

I Don't Think I'm A Great Songwriter, But I Think I've Learned A Lot About It, And I Don't Think There's Any One Way To Do It. I Don't Think I Can Control It At All. I Can Just Kind Of Hope That It Happens.

I Genuinely Don't Feel That Anything That's Been Written Or Said About Me Has Overshadowed My Music, And That's The Most Important Thing As Far As I'm Concerned.

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.
