Just before my final year of high school, my brother, sister and I moved with my mother to San Francisco.
I did television a lot in my earlier years, so to do the high school student that's just the pretty girl, I've done that before, so I don't have any interest in that.
My parents were both from the East and had moved to San Francisco only so my father could go to law school there.
I used to travel in tennis shoes; I am just not allowed to anymore. I'm an old hippie from San Francisco.
I went to school at the San Francisco Art Institute, thinking I was going to become an art teacher. Within the first six months I was there, I was told that I couldn't be an art teacher unless I became an artist first.
I was about 15 years old, and I needed a job, and somebody I know - I don't even know who it was - said that there was a television show that needed a presenter and that I should go and audition for it, so I did. That was a show called 'The Word,' and I got that job.
I didn't really start writing music or lyrics or turning them into songs until I went to San Francisco.
With the marketing pressures driving the book world today, it's much easier to get the author of a memoir on a television show than a serious novelist.
I've been performing since I was in high school, so I've seen people react to my music and my playing. I'm always appreciative when people like the music, but I'm not shocked.
