This is one of the major purposes of soul and jazz music; to state what you feel.

I'm very thankful to San Diego for the musical opportunities it gave me.

The voice is probably supposed to have some cracks and pops and some mistakes in it.

I'm always lobbying for the irrepressible strength of love.

I was 5 years old when I first broke into my mother's records and played Nat King Cole, and sat alongside the stereo and listened to Nat's music.

I was in rehab for nine months, and I needed some solace and distraction. I was in town one day and I sort of stumbled into a jazz jam session, and kept going back.

My sisters started to cook at nine and, being one of the youngest, I wanted in on it, too, so I began at six on potato-peeling duty as french fries were my thing.

I lose my bags all the time. Sometimes for two months. One of the worst times was when I had come from France and I had packed cheese, because I was really crazy about camembert, so I have this really nice suit that stinks of camembert, no matter how many times I dry clean it.

A professional music career goes in starts and stops. Around 2000 I was doing a Broadway show and that was some real good energy.

I'm really just a singer that's trying to make some music that strikes to the heart.
