I felt betrayed by him, extremely betrayed. He made me believe that if I followed a certain protocol of supplements and different drugs that I could become number 1 in the world.

I felt that there were so many people doing it that I would just be like one of the others.

I have never taken any substance to enhance my performance.

I look at that person and I'm like, That's not Kelli White. That's not who I am, who I started out to be.

The acne thing was bad. The shoulders, the face, my voice changed. I had a period every other week.

I felt that to do this drug, I had to become someone totally different than I was. I had to compromise my integrity, my value system. I knew it was so wrong.

I'm not sure exactly what Victor told Dr. Goldman, but I don't think he fully knew what was going on... I think he was really oblivious. I don't think he knew.

It sounded good. It was a story that Victor Conte told me to use. I was contacted by Dr. Goldman, and that's how the story came about. And that was my first time ever meeting, or speaking, to Dr. Goldman.

After a couple years of occasional lessons with Pass I moved to Boston to attend the New England Conservatory.

I agree totally with Metheny regarding the sound influencing the way you play.

I was exposed to jazz early on.

Still others want a traditional guitar sound if they call you for guitar.

The combination of experience and experimentation will ultimately yield a personal sound.

Tone on jazz guitars is a real tough issue.
