If we didn't live in a society that told us we're not OK if we're not making 100 grand a year, I think we'd all be a lot happier.

I was either going onstage or going into an interview or getting on a plane. You can't really feel everything fully when you don't have the time to process.

I quickly learned to take anger and use it to motivate me. My sister ran away from home, and she was my world. And that was that. The guitar became my world.

There are very few interviews I turn down, because I really dig talking to people and hanging out.

When I lived in Seattle and Oregon, we partied, which is a large reason I don't know drugs or alcohol now because I saw the Destruction of so many great musicians and artists.

Growing up in the Northwest, I did play in an all-girl band. I snuck into clubs. No one ever questioned or thought twice about it.

The Graces was a great experience; it's great working with women, but we weren't put together in an organic way, and I think that's why we didn't stay together. There wasn't that natural friendship.
