Once you stop drinking and smoking and stuff, it really gets on your nerves, all that nonsense going on.

I don't like to think that I'm on a treadmill of album, tour, promotion and all that.

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.

Let's face it, we do have this mating instinct that just won't quit, you know? Just when you think it's safe to come out, there it is again. You're driving down the street, and it's the last thing on your mind, and all of a sudden you're like, "Oh, he looks nice," and you're up a lamppost.

There's this celebrity thing that goes along with making records or being a rock star. I'm into this celebrity thing just enough to let me go on making records and making a living out of it.

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 always thought if a guy could play the guitar, he must be something really special.
