It's a guy thing, playing the guitar. Being a female and trying to go to the same auditions as the guys, it's pretty hard.

At school I had a really hard time being a guitar player. It’s like being a male ballerina in a way. It’s not the norm.

I get really excited about collaborating because by the end of the day you have something that you never thought you'd have. I was really happy about writing "Bad News" and a bunch of other stuff on the record that came out so well.

I like rock and roll t-shirts, tight jeans, and sneakers or boots. Really just laid back, sort of rock and roll. I'm a sneaker person. I don't really like to wear high heels. I'm always really paranoid when I'm on stage playing guitar that I'm going to trip over one of the cords when I'm prancing around so I have on wedges or shoes that are not too high.

I listen to everything. My I-Pod's really diverse-from guitar instrumentals to Rascal Flatts to Usher.

Just never give up. Try to believe in yourself and don't let negativity wear you down.
