I want to build a studio in my backyard. The interest rates are low now, so who knows.

I like to do cover songs if I really love them, I have to love the song first.

My sound is very smooth. Not to be to cliche, but really sensual and sultry.

I don't really think about dance except just before rehearsals start. I put it off. I don't live my life thinking about dance.

I want to have a long career.

I grew up writing. It was very natural in my household. My father was a poet, and his mother had been a novelist back in Hungary. I don't think I really thought about it being my career until high school, which is still pretty early, but it was a while there of just assuming this was something everyone did all day long.

I tried to be just a singer of standards when I was starting out. And there was nothing special enough about my voice to make it that far. So I feel a bit like Rod Stewart. Once you've had that rock career, people will give you that chance where otherwise they might not.

All of the people who work in the kitchen with me go out into the forests and on to the beach. It's a part of their job. If you work with me you will often be starting your day in the forest or on the shore because I believe foraging will shape you as a chef.
