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

What makes the most money for this business? Dead rock stars.

The past is part of the present, is part of the future, it's all part of being an artist. You cannot be something that you're not when you're not that thing anymore, and if you do that then you're a liar.

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.

I listen to too many people. I'm only going to listen to my gut for the rest of my life.

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.

I think self-destructiveness is given a really bad rap. I think it can also mean self-reflection and poetic sensiblity. It can mean empathy, hedonism, a libertarianism.
