I was homeless and I was in San Diego and I started singing in a local coffee shop and people started coming to hear me sing.
I was Renee Zellweger’s fat doppelganger. If she ever played in a movie where she needed to be fat, apparently I could be her stunt double.
I’ve always been a workhorse, and I’ve been supporting myself since I was 15.

I have always been a workaholic.
Most of us don’t spend any time knowing ourselves. We just keep reacting.
I make a living with a song, and I feel honored to do something I love and believe in.
On my own I generally have very messy hair, wear jeans and sneakers.
For now I’m just enjoying being a mom. I don’t want to be more famous and more rich. I want to be a good mom.
