The media says that equality for women has arrived, but if you look around, you still don't see girls playing guitars and having success with it.

I hope one day people don't look at women like they're out of their minds when they want to pick up an instrument and play. And I think we're getting a lot closer to that.

Being onstage is everything thats good about life.

A girl can do what she wants to do / And that's what I'm gonna do.

Performance-wise, you really need to be down in the trenches; you need to do the hard work, for a lot of reasons: To build yourself as a performer, to get a sense of the audience, to work hard and to wonder, 'Do I really want to do this?'
