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.

Four inch nails is more like it!

Everything that becomes true starts with a manifesto

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

I lived out my little rock'n'roll fantasy, I just wish I hadn't gotten into so much trouble for it.

The American public really does have a death wish for me. They want me to die. I'm not going to die.
