Real success is not being on the cover of a magazine; it's knowing that you've done, and enjoyed doing, what you set out to do.

I don't wish to embarrass anyone.

How much did you get for your soul?

I don't want my children to be at a disadvantage, growing up in the limelight, because then they have to live up to an identity already cut out for them, relating all the time to being so-and-so's daughter or so-and-so's son.

The Clash were innovative, radical and helped drive a change in music that was ground-breaking. In comparison to some of the music today they sounded like they meant it. I still listen to their music today to remind myself what music made with commitment sounds like.

I preferred rock when it was in the dark, when it was a secret between me and the audience, when it wasn't mainstream.

I was a single mom with two kids. What else was I going to do? It was either be in a band or be a waitress.
