I wish I was beautiful or at least wise, but I’m simply mad and violent.

I like there to be some testosterone in rock, and it's like I'm the one in the dress who has to provide it.

But, you know, all good rock is easy.

I had found The Runaways and I had seen Foxes, and I decided I was just gonna become a juvie, like Cherie Currie.

No guy is worth your tears, but when you find that one that could be worth it, he shouldn't make you cry.

I'm ultimately a widow and a single mother, who's not even getting to be a mother right now. I am so alone, it's freaky.

On Sofia Coppola's 16th birthday, way back in 1987, I stole a lip gloss from her Sistine Chapel of a bedroom. Years later, I left a Chanel lip gloss in the reception of the Mercer Hotel for her. You know why? I believe that you've got to fix your karma.
