Definitely not, because I've become aware that music is the one thing that I know I can do. I've definitely thought about, when we're off, trying to take a cosmetology course or something like that. I know I would just be awful at college and I'm just thankful that I don't have to go. [Laughs.]

Do you see a solo record in your future?

Ooooh. I don't know about that. I love being in a band. I can't see myself singing alone and just being Hayley, you know. That would feel so weird. [Laughs.]

What do you do on a rare day off? I have an image of you and Taylor Swift swapping war stories in Nashville.

I do know Taylor, not extremely well. She's really cool. I'm learning how to sew right now. That's pretty fun. To be honest, Wal-Mart has really cool fabric and it's really cheap. Other than that, I hang out with friends and family. I go to Starbucks, like any other kid.

How does it make you feel to know there's scores of girls who are going "I can do that" because they see you rocking out?

Man, it's just going to be so weird if there's a girl-fronted band in 10 years and I'm older and they're freaking blowing up and they're like, "Yeah, we used to listen to Paramore; that's why we started a band." I'm just going to be like "WHAT!?!"

What's the hardest part about being on the tour bus with three boys?

Just trying to figure out when I should take my own time to be a chick. . . . I have a hard time making a lot of friends that are girls, to be honest. Guys are just more relaxed and wacky, and I tend to relate to that better. The dudes in the band are just funny and crazy. I wouldn't trade that to be in an all-girl band if someone had a gun to my head.

So no Bangles or Go-Gos for you.

No way! Belinda Carlisle, maybe.
