I think people must wonder how a white girl like me became a blues guitarist. The truth is, I never intended to do this for a living.

I grew up in Los Angeles in a Quaker family, and for me being Quaker was a political calling rather than a religious one.

Religion is for people who are scared to go to hell. Spirituality is for people who have already been there.

I just want to be as good a person as I can be.

I don't need any drug to show me Heaven And I sure know how to spend plenty of time cleaning Hell But I'm missin' that feeling of falling.

I don't think there's ever been any music quite like what we came up with.

I don't go into any album with a concept or a deliberate direction. It's more letting the best music that really appeals to me at the time, the best songs that I find after many months and years of search and sifting through my collection, and asking radio people and journalists. It's really an ongoing search that's as much daunting as it is somewhat exciting.
