After being in the creative, hermetic state I have been in, coming out has been painful, but it is getting easier.

The way I work is mostly unconscious and instinctive.

After being in the creative, hermetic state I have been in, coming out has been painful, but it is getting easier.

I was working as a cocktail waitress in a heavy metal bar. Then, my manager said I should try some acting, which led to an audition Satisfaction, where I played a musician in an all-girl band. That movie is where I met my future ex-husband Jody Porter.

Negative feelings can either lead to sinking into oneself and disappearing, or they can make you angry and want to prove that you're worthy to be in the conversation.

I think I am a late-bloomer. My taste in music just keeps getting better.
