I've been singing since I was 8 years old and working in clubs since I was 14. I've been working full time since I was 16.
I've been recording since 1993. It was a hobby for six of those years. In 1999, I decided to do it full time and take it seriously.
Back in my younger years, I read an average of a book a day. That was when I was going to school full time and working a job after school 30 hours or more a week.
People like Arvo Part would not have been taken seriously 20 years ago.

It took me years to figure out that you don't fall into a tub of butter, you jump for it.
Mothers who work full time - they're the real heroes.
I like the idea of being a working writer, not of saying that it's going to take me 30 years to write my magnum opus.
