I think we were raised in a nice Texas Jewish family where education was the most important thing, and close behind that was the arts. It was emphasized and expected that we'd play piano.
With my daughter, we do arts and crafts, we read a lot, we listen to music, and we cut the strings off balloons and bounce them around after birthday parties.
I don't think I can tell any stories about how I lived in a van in Alaska. I grew up in the suburbs, I even had my own room. We weren't poor. Everything was very normal.
Although my dad was a doctor, we weren't necessarily a super-artsy family. We were just a classic, traditional family who got to take a lot of piano lessons and became a bunch of musicians.
Again, I don't hold it against somebody if they don't know who I am - I don't know who a lot of people are.
I didn't realize what an impact having a No. 1 single would have. It connects me with people of different ages, and I get to travel all over the world.
I think a good mom is an awake mom. At least for me, I've always been a kinder, better person awake than sleep-deprived!
I'm making a record that's half stripped down acoustic which is the way I perform a lot and half of it is very produced. It's really hard to keep music simple but I was trying to keep it simple and focus on one or two instruments and vocals.
I think people are always nostalgic for a time about 20 years before they were born.
Again, I'm used to speaking to a lot of people; I have a lot of friends and family, and I perform music and speak in front of a lot of crowds. So I share with people already a lot in my life.
The shows are so different from each other, depending on whether I play with my band, Nine Stories, other musicians, an orchestra, only one or two members of my band.
My overnight success was really 15 years in the making. I'd been writing songs since I was 6 and playing in bands and performing since I was 14.
The Lisa Loeb Eyewear line was created to satisfy all of those people who always stop me and ask me where I get my glasses because they want some just like mine!
The only way to get vegetables at a diner late night is to order the omelette. A feta cheese and broccoli omelette.
I always wanted to make a children's album because you have the freedom to explore so many wonderful topics and sounds.
I want children to be glued to interactive books that encourage singing and dancing. I feel when kids work together it brings about a different energy.
I've made music for grownups most of my life as a singer/songwriter - often with my band, Nine Stories - recorded many albums, and 10 years ago I started recording kid's music, too.
I'm old-school. I want to be there to drop off my daughter at school and pick her up.
It's really hard to balance work and being a mother.
As a musician, you never understand why people connect with certain songs.
