One of my favorite pieces of fan mail was a gift that I got. It was a jar filled with handwritten nice thoughts.

I grew up with SpongeBob - it came out in 1999, right before I turned 7. So it's been a part of my life and all my friends' lives and defined our humor, in a way.

SpongeBob has these qualities that I aspire to. Sure, he's a little naive, maybe, but he's so optimistic and is able to put his love of his friends and family above everything else.

I've gotten to meet Sara Bareilles a couple of times. I'm just a such a massive fan of hers, from her albums to 'Waitress' to everything that she does. To be a fan of somebody and then find out that they have a good heart and are kind is really heartwarming.

My mother passed away when I was seven. She had a piano in the house that she was teaching my sisters how to play. That was where I first encountered music, through her.
