Success and the art of making music are two different things for me.

• Success and the art of making music are two different things for me.
• A lot of pop people out there are cool, but they overdo it.
• 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.
• 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.
• I love my dad and we have a very good relationship now.
• Sometimes when you're trying to do a record too close to home, you can get really distracted.
• 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 hope there are some audiophiles still out there.
• 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.
