Back in '96, I was on 'The Price Is Right' pointing at refrigerators, and 'Extra,' the TV show, came down. They were the first entertainment entity that put people up on the Internet, so they put my picture up, and America Online called the next day and said I got a zillion or whatever downloads. I didn't know what a download was! ↗

When something disappointing happened, my mother would remind me not to let that become my focus. There's still so much to be grateful for. ↗

There's a variety and depth to the song topics I get to write about in children's music and books: being able to write about things I wouldn't normally write about, like a disappointing pancake, or monsters or opposite day is really different than writing about heartbreak and relationships. ↗

I do think the patriotic thing to do is to critique my country. How else do you make a country better but by pointing out its flaws? ↗
