When you're in a band and you're a girl, you know, guys just don't ... it's not the same kind of a groove as a girl walking up wearing a mac with nothing on underneath, or knocking on someone's door at three in the morning.

I don't think it's good to be sentimental, so I try not to be.

I was never too interested in high school. I mean, I never went to a dance, I never went out on a date, I never went steady. It became pretty awful for me. Except, of course, I could go see bands, and that was the kick. I used to go to Cleveland just to see any band. So I was in love a lot of the time, but mostly with guys in bands that I had never met. For me, knowing that Brian Jones was out there, and later that Iggy Pop was out there, made it kind of hard for me to get too interested in the guys that were around me. I had, uh, bigger things in mind.

I just want to be as regular, and get by with doing the least amount of publicity, but still look really cool, you know? And get a bit of respect.

I can only cook brown rice and vegetables, so I don't get too many people coming over for dinner parties or anything.

Yeah, the industry has always been both the enemy and the best friend of the artist. They need each other. That's the bottom line.

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