One thing that did get me into a lot of different types of music was when I was very young, the local record store went out of business and they were selling off all the vinyl.

People expect you to change when you become a mother, and of course my priorities changed when I had Violet. She's number one in my life and the best thing that ever happened to me, but I still have fun. I am still myself, but that is made out to seem like I am rebelling against motherhood.
