I make sure I'm appreciative and can an encounter the world in a humble way.
I'm not losing the wonder in playing music.
When I first started playing guitar, I would sit in my room for hours and learn scales.
With my first high school band ever, we would have these breaks in the song for idiotic solos, solos that were un-tasteful and would be shredding, but I needed to put them in there, and I realize now it's because we were playing shows with a whole bunch of bands that were all male.
I'm Type A to a fault.
Everyone I know has a predilection for sharing words.
There are bands who write of emotions that are very heartbreaking, touching, or relatable, but they'll be like concept records, they're about fictional characters.
I don't think I'll ever get that tour ennui. Just getting to visit New York and all these different places - I'm always so excited to look at the window. I look like a crazy tourist stumbling around... 'This is beautiful.'
I adopted this idea whether I was going to end up making music for three people in a bar or Wembley Stadium, I was always going to do music.
Me at parties: 'Like, do you want to know the historical context of the prophet Jeremiah?'
If I can say so without sounding presumptuous, I want to model women being collaborative instead of competitive.
I stan my friends!
Painting with broad strokes, I feel like a lot of journalism makes it out to be like the collective consciousness has a finite imagination for multiple women at one time in a similar genre.
There are still men in the professional or behind the scenes world that are controlling women to build credibility.
There are so many people in Memphis who have real reasons to be angsty, but I was just a suburban white kid with all this misplaced rage.
Tolerance exists.
Every girl is a singer. I wanted to learn the solos and play lead guitar. I would meticulously teach myself solos so when dudes were like, 'Oh, you're a girl, you can't play guitar,' I could rip these insane Telecaster blues solos and tell them, 'Yeah, I can burn up a fret board.'
All my heroes are teachers.
Sometimes, it feels artificial to try to come up with a solution to something that none of us know how to solve.
Sometimes, what's helpful is to admit that we are discouraged and admit that we are at a loss.
