When I was a kid, for me, the '60s seemed so far away. But I was actually born in the late '60s.

I learn so much from writing with other musicians, asking questions about their playing style and gear, and hanging out, too.

I think a good mom is an awake mom. At least for me, I've always been a kinder, better person awake than sleep-deprived!

I make sure to sleep eight hours, and I'm much better about eating, because I'm not standing in front of my pantry. I go to the market and pick up little carrot nubs.

Where I grew up in Dallas, things might be a little more traditional. People have the same things in mind. They're supposed to grow up, go to college, get a job, get married, and have children, grandchildren. That's the world I grew up in.

I don't have a very routine life; the kids' activities, our nightly routines, and morning routines are about as routine as it gets. In the middle of it all - other than my morning coffee, toast, and trying to get 7-8 hours of sleep a night - each day is different.

When someone asks if you'd like cake or pie, why not say you want cake and pie?
