Rock is all about writing your own script; it's all about pioneering.

I'm a catalogue artist: I compete with Bob Dylan.

In rock 'n' roll it's really about being as vulnerable as possible and giving them what they want. But onstage it's about pausing, about internal life, it's about internal triggers - that's one of the reasons I'm really challenged to do a play.

I get nervous about press and about being rejected or disappointing myself.

I wish people would just like me for what I am, the singer in an OK new wave band.

I surrounded myself with women when I was growing up because I had this horrible psycho father. Now I'm trying to really appreciate and like men more.

I'm not a woman. I'm a force of nature.
