It's really cool to see how many awesome, badass ladies are out there now just doing their thing and putting their foot down, saying, "Nope. You're not going to tell me I'm doing something women shouldn't be doing." It's a scary time but also I think a really important time. I'm happy to see how much girls are responding to a lot of the other powerful big boys swimming out there right now.

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.

I've always been interested in fashion, and Urban Outfitters presented me with a huge opportunity to pursue that interest.

There are days where I turn on the TV or I look at the news and I'm like, "I want to go to Mars. This is insane." But I can't go to Mars! I need to face reality and just to have some hope.

I found all these stupid pictures of cats at the beach, and I was like, "They get it, man. They totally get it."

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