I love writing every song I can like a little mini movie. I like to have a character, or some characters, and really paint a picture with the song.

I compare myself to a good barn. You can have a good barn, and if you paint it, it looks a little better. But if you take the paint off, it's still a good barn.

There are certainly a lot of things that still need to change when it comes to women in the workforce.

I'm not going to limit myself just because people won't accept the fact that I can do something else.

I've never had a divorce, but I've seen so many of my friends, my sister, my family go through that stuff, so I try to write for the people that can't write about it. I take on their sorrow, so I'm able to kind of express it, or their joy.

I never want anything more than what's fair. The problem is, I never want anything less either. In the old-boy school of business, if a woman walks away from the table with what's rightfully hers, the man feels screwed.
