What was the last album you bought? Department of Eagles In Ear Park. It is great.

If I’m not playing Disney songs then it’s jazz, but even the Beatles are hard for her to wrap her head around at this point.

I think that a lot of the singers and artists that I love are very theatrical in a way, even if it’s somebody like Freddie Mercury or Marianne Faithfull.

Self-described "stalker fan freak" of Tom Waits. That explains her 2008 album Anywhere I Lay My Head, which is comprised entirely of Waits covers.

What song instantly puts you in a good mood? "Jump Around" by House of Pain. (I'm a kid from the '90s.)

the Beach Boys in general just being a big part of my musical library as a young person.

Even when I work on a film, I often listen to a lot of music and I always go back to Tom Waits. I just love him. So I have picked "Burma Shave" to share with you today.

"Staring At The Sun." This is an alternate version and it is TV On The Radio. The reason why I picked this particular song is that this is a really great version of this song that's kind of pared down and you can really hear the depth of the vocals and brilliance of the songwriting, as opposed to the other version of the song which is much more produced and the vocals are kind of right up there in front, but alongside the music as well and the beat. This song shows another side to the band, that really shows the brilliance of their songwriting.

The next song is a New Order song called "Your Silent Face." When this song came out, obviously, I was probably really irritating my older brother. But when I found it, I was in high school and I started listening to a lot of New Order

A couple of years ago I went to a Brian Wilson concert in London and I would have to say it was maybe the best concert I've ever been to; it was amazing. Part of that was just watching him sit up on the stage alone -- with his band behind him of course -- but he was really front and center and the first half of the show he played you know some of the Beach Boys' greatest hits and then the second half of the show he played the entire "Pet Sounds" album.

The reason why I picked this song was…well, part of it was because a lot of the music that I listened to when I was younger was music that my mom listened to. You know, my mom was kind of a teenager in the 60's and she was living in Manhattan and hanging out in Greenwich Village and seeing Jimi Hendrix play when he was Jimmy James and the Moody Blues and Richie Havens and she also, of course, listened to a lot of the Beach Boys and stuff.

I love the instrumental in the beginning and Frank's voice is super dreamy in this song. I have to say that he was a huge part of my childhood and my excitement about singing and music when I was a kid.

I love Frank Sinatra. I was obsessed with Frank Sinatra. Obsessed.

What Disney song would you cover in honor of both of your kids? There was that Lana Del Rey song, “I Know You” (from Maleficent).

What is your go-to karaoke song? "New York State of Mind."

Who is on the guest list for your ideal dinner party? Bette Davis, David Bowie, and Bono.

When I was auditioning for musicals, I sang Belly High, that's one.
