The music now is about my personal life, where I'm at as a 24-year-old young woman, so it's very honest and it's very pure and it's very emotional.
I think everybody changes from 16 to 24. Actually, I'm right on the verge of 25.
I tend to get into something, like two feet and jump in, you know, she's always kind of going, 'Come on, Deb, it's your career, slow down, take it easy'.
Once I started writing songs, though, there was this feeling of, 'Oh my God, what a cool thing to be able to say to someone, 'You've never heard this before. And I know you haven't, because I wrote it.' I felt like, 'Wow, if I could present something new to people, that would be the ultimate thing.'
The cool thing is that people have been so responsive to my work on stage that I've actually had to turn things down. I have so many things I want to do, from flying an airplane to writing a symphony, and doing motivational speaking to groups of teenagers. Making records is now only one part of a great big picture in my life.
I guess it's nice to know I have that much depth on our bench. We served very aggressively and our defense was pretty strong. We let few balls drop and were pretty good at keeping the ball in play.
And I always had people telling me, 'You can't do this. You're from Long Island, how do you expect to be on Broadway? You can't go into the city and be on Broadway.' What do you mean? It's an hour away! Of course I can be on Broadway someday.'
