With every milestone that I've come across, there's always been a little note at the bottom that's said, 'Don't worry, there's another milestone coming up.'

The thing that was most constant when I was growing up was just complete support and adoration from my parents.

I've been naturally quick at learning things, and I learn by doing things, so if I sit beside someone who is actively doing something, I look at how they do it and absorb the way in which they do something and find my own comfortable way of reimagining that, or using certain techniques in my own way.

People don't want to hear the same song 12 times in a row on an album.

I was bringing the whole music, hip-hop, art, break dancing and urban cultural thing to the downtown table.

My older son works in finance and private equity, which he loves, and Lucas works in film and theater.

When I first started writing, I used to listen to music all the time because it would make time pass more quickly. And then I started to wonder if the music wasn't affecting my writing in ways that I didn't necessarily intend.
