• The process is always the same. I get an inspiration for a new song, I put it down on paper immediately so I won't lose it. When I am ready to go to the studio with it, I play it a few times on the piano and edit, add, and type the lyrics and take it to the studio. Sometimes I don't have anything on paper.

• In my early teens, I knew I wanted to do television production. I loved cameras, editing and producing, anything that had to do with television production.

It's a joyful day at work, making your friends laugh.
