I love that contradiction of being feminine but playing in the boys' treehouse. My whole life's been like that.
Writing songs is super intimate. It's a bit like getting naked.
My mom always said I was the peacemaker in the family. My older brother, Eric, was the leader, the creative one. I was just his puppet.
Being a mom is hard, I think a lot of working moms feel that way.
I think I've been able to fool a lot of people because I know I'm a dork. I'm a geek.
I wish I could write more make-believe. It's a lot easier to write about hard times and when things are going wrong. But I've never been a private person.
