It's scary when you get to a point where you write these songs that people like, and then you think, "Am I ever going to be able to write something better than that?"
I don't think lyrics need to be deep - just write whatever comes out of you. You don't need to find intense meaning in everything.
I'm working all the time. When I'm home I try to split my time evenly between resting and preparing for another tour, and writing stuff.
I'm really proud to be a woman making music. Nothing makes me happier than when other women approach me at shows and say, "You've inspired me to start writing music," or, "I feel like we could be best friends." Music is a male-dominated business, so it's nice to see bands with girls in them, and not just a bunch of dudes with beards in flannel shirts.
