My favorite solos are all very melodic. Those are the ones that are the most memorable.

Getting ready for a tour is a big process, and I enjoy every part of it.

I think if you can get the right bunch of people together, and you're in the room and it just feels right, then the music will come.

I like to just plug in and play; I don't use a lot of effects.

I'm a fan of stuff that's on the radio that just gets you moving or whatever, and you're in the car.

It's not easy being a female guitar player. You have to believe in yourself.

Sometimes I want to hear something fun to cook or bake to; other times, I need specific songs to to lift me up.

When you play a show and you see people singing your lyrics back to, you feel as if they do know you.

All of my solos are blues based. Even though a lot of my songs get into pop, I wind up going back to the blues. Trying to escape it is like trying to run from the devil.

I'm lucky that my family is musical. Music was encouraged. So when I saw Carlos Santana play and decided to really pursue the electric guitar in earnest, it was OK. My parents knew I was going to go for it.
