I've always liked extreme performers; I don't think I am one, but my mentality is in line with that.

I just being able to write songs I'm proud of and finding some women to play with is exciting.

It was sad when Sid Vicious died... I was freaked out when Phil Lynott died from Thin Lizzy. I cried. It was too crazy.

The distance thing is partially due to the fact that I'm pretty shy and I've struggled with extreme stage fright in the past. So I just have to go onstage in a different head space so I'm not as self-aware.

It's very expensive to bring a band to New York.

I'm sure as I progress the sound may get cleaner but right now, I'm still interested in having it rough but never overwhelmingly so. I consider myself an amateur pop songwriter and I want that to come through, too.

When I met Ronnie Spector, she walked in and said, 'You look like me.'
