I don't have a ton of friends, but the friends I have are great ones. I don't have huge family, but the family I have is a great one.

As a lyricist, you love to hear other great lyrics or other great concepts.

This young woman was the rock in her family.

I love children and I love family and I love that interaction. Because I had a really close relationship with my mother, I understand that deep powerful love, and it's so beautiful. To be a mother to a child is the most brilliant gift; it's gorgeous.

I've always felt lonely, even if I'm in a great relationship or surrounded by my friends and family.

You have to be able to adjust on the fly, and that is what the great ones do.
