I was born at the beginning of rock and roll. I got to experience the entire evolution of popular rock and roll music even before it started.

I always felt rock and roll was very, very wholesome music.

I grew up with a wide range of music.

We had a really vast music collection and I was raised around rock'n'roll, it's just the way it was.

Obviously the people that I admired, like the Beatles, were really into rock'n'roll, but it was already a little past rock'n'roll when I started listening and making my own choices about music.

Music has always been a huge part of my life.

I enjoy everything. I actually do listen to everything. In high school, I listened to a lot of metal and punk rock.

I was listening to music long before rock 'n roll.

I grew up listening to a lot of player-piano music in my house and a lot of old Tin Pan Alley songs and American standards. My dad listened to a lot of traditional Irish music and I grew up doing musical theater. So most of the music I was exposed to as a kid was pre-rock n' roll.
