I have a lyric journal that I write in a lot. When I’m going to play, I just sit down and have my books with me and my notes and tapes and whatever I need to refer to. I just play and try different things. It’s a kind of discipline.

When I'm writing, which is 8-9 months out of the year, I'm in a concerted writing pace, where I work 5 days a week for at least a few hours a day, maybe a little bit more. But I won't work for more than 2 hours at a time. I'll work for a couple hours and take a break.
Amy Ray
When people say, 'Nothing's coming to me,' they usually don't like what's coming to them.
Amy Ray
I sit down and draw from my lyric book. I sit down and start looking through it and see if there is anything that strikes me that I've written.
Amy Ray
The best days I have are usually days where I'm out in the woods and something happens, like I see an amazing animal like a fox, or I get a glimpse of a wild pig or something that I never see. Or crazy things happen.
Amy Ray
Maybe our gender is one thing and our sexuality is another. And that's a cool thing I think.
