I've found that in now having experienced what it's like to make records and just through growing up in general that you should be expressive about what's affecting you instead of trying to sing about a subject just for the sake of other people getting something from it.

If I'm writing strictly for others, how does that show what I'm experiencing or thinking? I just got to a point where I realized I could be as personal as I wanted to be and people could relate to those situations if they so choose.

I think it's important to really press on with the song writing and just go with it. There's no code, there's no craft.. It's just let yourself shine through your music. If it's meant to be loved and heard, it'll happen.

Generally my feeling is that I think women are just in a universal way coming out, coming to their own more. And they have more opportunity, and basically we're equal.

Maybe in past years, perhaps women didn't feel quite as comfortable with revealing themselves, and their skills and their crafts.. And now we are, so we're out there, just like the guys.
