My mom was very strict when I was growing up. I could not talk to boys until I was 18. I had to study and work hard.
After my tour I had time to stay at home, be with my boyfriend and hang out with friends and that brought me down to earth and helped me write music from a more relaxed place.
I certainly look at the modern guys and think they are a different species to when we played. They are fitter and their conditioning is extraordinary.
