I play mostly guitar, and I played drums in my brother's band for a while growing up.

I'm very specific and ambitious in plotting out my goals and never take no for an answer - so it's not like things just fall in my lap.

I've always loved Broadway, but I never thought I'd actually do it because I was never a full Broadway dancer. And I don't have a big, booming voice.

For me, I think everybody with half a heart tries to do their best to do their part of good during the holiday season.

In schools giving students a full education, not to create great artists but about the right to have full expression and imagination and creativity, along with an acknowledgement that everybody learns differently. You try and you fail and you try again. All those skills are useful in the workplace, too.

The idea that motherhood is inherently somehow a threat to creativity is just absurd.

I'm not a massive artist by any stretch of the imagination. Yes, I've been in papers and magazines, but you never have any idea if anyone actually reads it or pays any attention.

Education is the foundation for all we do in life, it shapes who we are and what we aspire to be. Creativity fuels innovation, and it's what all states should strive to instill in the next generations.
