I feel one step closer to Beyoncé now that we both have our own clothing lines.

Touring is definitely work. You're spending a lot of time in the car and around the same people and it's not the easiest thing in the world, but it's better than working a 9-to-5 job or something.

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.

Making music can sometimes make me a bit restless, so it's fun when I get to be expressive in another way.

Advice I would give to anyone trying to find their own personal style: don't copy anybody, just be yourself, and make your own trends.

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.
