I am a thinned-skinned type. I am very sensitive, very emotional. Vulnerability is kind of always a part of my day.

When I was a teenager in the '80s, I was the only girl in the guitar shop. Now if you walk into a music store, it's mostly teenage girls. It's great! It's an expansion of possibilities for young women, finding a way to tools even if they aren't directly handed those tools by adults.
