When I talk about music in Memphis, it's a place you can go if you are a beginning artist or anywhere in your career, and you can incubate.

When I was a kid, I always wanted to go to Europe, to go to Africa, to go traveling.

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

Even the sad roots songs have a lot of good stories to them, and the murder ballads are good too. I mean, who doesn't like to watch a nice gory murder film on TV?

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

I dont marry bandmates just to go marrying bandmates.

I think it's funny how people get confused when they think about church music, because a lot of times there is a soloist who stands out, but my church wasn't like that at all.
