Episode Highlights:
17:47 - I literally wrote that song on the bathroom floor in tears. I was pregnant with my first kid. I had never had that many hormones running through me since puberty and I wore too many hats and I overextended myself. Women tend to have kind of an unappreciated, unseen duty in their households and within their community where they make everything happen, and they're the glue, but then they don't get rest.
34:30 - I like to be alone after shows, but I also want to appreciate everyone who bought a ticket. So, I like to see fans, say hi, shake hands, and then immediately eat, and go back to my hotel room where I'll probably stay up all night with adrenaline flowing through me. But I have my own space and just bask in the ambiance of the show.
53:45 - I would tell her to recognize just how cool she is without being the same as everyone around her. I was a very different kind of child. I was interested in different things, partly because I was so well-protected by my parents. I would tell her that she's already amazing.
