I like performing live more than anything. I get a little bit afraid in the studio.

I just have to do prayers and meditation and affirmations to myself as I go throughout the day, and that's the only way I'm able to make it through some days.

My challenges have not been around music. My hardest thing in music was just sitting down and teaching myself how to play and believing in myself.

There are a lot of murder ballads out there, but most of them are about killing the woman. I was like, "We've gotta turn this around!"

I am always excited about playing in front of live audiences because I really enjoy it, for the most part.

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

I feel a lot of cities are like, you go and you are trying to do your art, and there are so many other artists there who are so brilliant. And it's kind of like they stomp on the scene, and they are like, "You're not already Picasso? Get the hell out of here!" And Memphis is like, "Well, you'll get there one day!"
