“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 aim to inspire a bunch of female guitar players to get out there and take it seriously and never give up.”

“I was inspired to play electric guitar from listening to a lot of Carlos Santana, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and B.B. King, and that's always been the kind of music that I gravitate toward.”

“My first concert was Chicago and Moody Blues. I was 15 years old.”

“The Band is probably the ultimate example of people taking all kinds of music, from gospel to blues to mountain music to folk music to on and on and on and on and putting them all in this big pot and mixing up a new gumbo.”

“Without the blues, modern music would be nothing like it is now - not remotely.”
