I did not stop dancing; I did take two years off to get myself together.

I learned a lot from that first record and I learned a lot from my experiences touring, but really the biggest education I got over the past two years was learning the importance of arrangements.

But now - look, I have to take care of myself. I work out every day. I'm a dancer. I've always been an athlete, and I'm one of those people who start to go crazy if they don't run or do something.

I don't put boundaries on myself when I sit at the piano.

When it comes to music, we live in a very different world than everyone did in the 1960s and 1970s.

I work hard and I will always work hard. But I feel very lucky with the way that it has all come together.
