I would rather feel things in extreme than not at all. |
I'm certain that it was an incredible gift for me to not only be friends with some of the greatest blues people who've ever lived, but to learn how they played, how they sang, how they lived their lives, ran their marriages, and talked to their kids. |
I'm completely thrilled to be a part of this. I have to say, this is the highlight of the summer for me. This is one of a kind and long overdue. It's the best vibe I've ever seen backstage and onstage as well. |

It's a great opportunity for all of us to raise the ante and the attention for something that needs focus. It's the cosmic food chain -- that we get so much and we give something back -- it's what we're supposed to do. |

Sarah and the women did an incredible thing last year, and I don't think the music business will ever be the same. |
She's got a real attitude for standing up for what she thinks. She plays a mean guitar, she's a great rock 'n' roll singer and we have a great relationship. She's kind of a little sister to me. |
So much hope in the room and out there in the country. |
Sometimes I'm more true when I'm up onstage than I'm able to be in my regular life. It's not as exciting to be at home, but I've got to learn how to make that work, and then I will be an ordinary woman. |
