#because

You have competition every day because you set such high standards for yourself that you have to go out every day and live up to that. ↗

For a competitive junkie like me, golf is a great solution because it smacks you in the face every time you think you have accomplished something. That to me has taken over a lot of the energy and competitiveness for basketball. ↗

I've always loved to read. But sometimes I go for a year without reading, because I forget to. ↗

My first two records are so simply constructed. The reason isn't because I wanted to make simple music. It's because I don't really have the chops. ↗

On the first album I was saying, that's just one part of me. And then I was thinking, well, am I going to hide the rest of me now just because I'm afraid of something? No. I'm just going to be myself. ↗

I put out a recording of me singing mostly jazz because I wanted people to know I'm coming from a jazz background. ↗

What I was going for in the first two albums I didn't necessarily achieve. Because I was young and because it was my first time out. And the second album was such a 'quickie' sort of 'Let's just get it over with!' But the kind of music I make, there's a lot of subtlety in it. And I think it takes a couple of listens to actually really get it. ↗
