I wanted to make some music with deeper meaning mixed with the fun and cool stuff I've been doing for so long.

I've quit drugs and drinking and been into healthy stuff like yoga.

Everything I do has to come from a sense of fun and joy.

I am not one of those writers that it just flows out of effortlessly. I have to sit and write and rewrite and sometimes it's really challenging to get anything good out of myself.

Basically, this industry is mostly run by men, and I think women have a harder time...I've had enough of the "Women in Rock" issues of magazines and all of that. There's no reason why we should have our own separate little genre; that's just ridiculous. Besides, what is the genre? I certainly don't fit into the whole "Lilith" thing (thank God), but I am a female musician. And there are enough other great females in music that don't have to fit into it, either.

I don't like being preachy. I think using fun and humor is an excellent way to make people think.
