“Being a rock and roll band is about spending time on the details so that you can hone your own identity.”

“I was like a closet makeup fiend as a little girl because I knew that I would be guffawed at in school if I wore too much makeup.”

“For dramas, I love 'Downton Abbey.' I'm a sucker for the BBC.”

“When people see a talented girl, it calls to mind the very rare breed of women who have managed to succeed. If I were a dude with the exact same voice, band and songs, I doubt they'd compare me to Sheryl Crow. But hey, I'm not complaining. Big fish, small pond.”

“We are all just the tip of a pinprick of the millions of things that had to happen in order for us to be here.”

“It's easy for me to write songs but hard for me to write an album; that's been my experience.”

“There are daily stresses on the road, but when everyone gets fed, everyone gets happy. Simple.”

“I see musicians like Bonnie Raitt and Emmylou Harris as more than just musical icons: they are planets, with a gravitational pull - from how they flip their hair just-so when they bow, right down to their hearty backstage banter. It takes decades to learn the innuendos of being gracious and genuine all at once.”

“I hate long pants.”

“Living on the road can make you feel quite displaced. Cooking a meal on the tour bus for everyone makes it home.”

“I loved the experience of going to the farmers' market, seeing where your food is grown, turning it into something delicious.”

“I'm legally blind in one eye, and one eye is a totally different size than the other, and I have, like, a weird crossed-eye thing.”

“Food has always been a passion for me from a very young age.”

“I dance all the time. I'm almost constantly moving.”

“Dr. Dog is good summer music.”

“I love cooking... I'm quite domestic.”

“I love 'New Girl.' I think it's so fun.”

“Voting is something that we all have a right to. It's not something that we have to do... it's absolutely an honor and a great opportunity to be heard.”
