I just like to experiment.

I like collecting chickens.

I'm half Greek, half Australian.

'Rise' is a very empowering song.

Everyone has troubles in their life.

I got to jam with Prince, which is amazing.

There aren't too many female guitar players.

I love all animals. I'm such an animal lover.

I have, like, 1,000 voice memos on my iPhone.

I've had pigeons, doves, mice. I had a cat, dogs.

I'm really into Deepak Chopra and self-help books.

I'd be a chef if I wasn't a musician, that's for sure.

I will literally have a whole pot of coffee to myself.

Christmas time... is about bringing everyone together.

The great thing about country songs is the storytelling.

I was called a freak because I was so engrossed in music.

I had a teacher at school who told me to take up the harp.

That's my goal: to inspire more female guitarists out there.

Who didn't want to dance like Michael Jackson? I know I did.

I'm so excited to share 'Heaven In This Hell' with the fans!

I have an aquarium full of fish and some Mexican walking fish.

I like to just plug in and play; I don't use a lot of effects.

Getting to write a song with Steve Vai - he was my first support.

It's a huge honour to be able to get on stage and jam with an icon.

We kind of grew up in an environment that enabled us to be ourselves.

'Livin' on a Prayer,' 'Wanted Dead or Alive' - those are iconic songs.

I've been playing electric guitar since I was 11, and I love the blues.

I was the only kid reading guitar magazines at the back of the classroom.

'Walk With Me' was written really fast, and that one is about togetherness.

So many people have gone through the experience of not feeling good enough.

It's not easy being a female guitar player. You have to believe in yourself.

I'm a rock/blues guitar player. I'm not wanting to be a pop star or anything.

It's a crazy industry. I'm not into the partying, I'm a pretty healthy person.

Beats are really inspiring. They always make me want to write something over them.

I'm actually allergic to sulfate - so I can't have vinegar, and I can't drink wine.

I think it's important to evolve and make a different record every time as an artist.

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

I'm always amazed at how records can make you feel like somebody else understands you.

My favorite solos are all very melodic. Those are the ones that are the most memorable.

The She Rocks Awards does so much for women in music, and I'm excited to be a part of it.

Growing up, I didn't have a lot of role models - Bonnie Raitt, Lita Ford, Jennifer Batten.

When I saw Santana for the first time, I was really inspired. Same with Stevie Ray Vaughn.

Pushing yourself and digging into something new, that's what being a musician is all about.

I'm all about inspiring young musicians to get out there and express themselves through music.

One of the first country artists I got to work with was Carrie Underwood at the Grammy Awards.

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

Santana is the reason I play guitar - I studied his style so much, I actually wore out the video tapes.

I love singing my own stuff, but I also love being a guitar player. Doing both keeps things interesting.

To be able to work with my idols is incredible. You learn so much, and they're wonderful as people, too.

You have to work hard if you want something, and my parents instilled that into me when I was really young.
