Memphis held onto me until I was far enough along in my art and then it let me go.

As a woman especially I've found a lot of freedom in music.

I can't believe the ignorance there, so I don't allow it to affect my life, I don't allow it to come into my zone, and it's not in my world, really.

I just love music, and I absorbed what I love.

They're all personal and self-created challenges that I think I've overcome within myself. Being confident enough to get on stage and play, things like that.

Im constantly being inspired by the old days and taking things from the past and allowing them to lift me up where I am now.

If you're going to be stuck somewhere forever, you might as well be around good people!
