You don't need to retouch if you know how to light.

I'd love to retouch my whole life.

We all have our vanities. The retouching magazines like 'Vogue' do is the professional version of the retouching we do when we, for example, apply Instagram filters to the pictures we take and share on our social networks.

Even though I'll do finger warm-ups that go up and down the neck to build up my chops and dexterity, I never, ever sit around and practice the actual licks I'm gonna play live. If you do, then you'll be all worried about the complexity of getting the fingering right and everything else about it, as opposed to the feel.

For me, pointing and clicking my phone is absolutely fine. People say that isn't the art of photography but I don't agree.

I do think it's important for young women to know that magazine covers are retouched. People don't really look like that.

Even when I work with computers, with high technology, I always try to put in the touch of the hand.

Any experience that touches you, in any particular way, is good. It can be a horrible experience.

Touching people is very rewarding to me.
