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

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

I've always admired people with really strong presences and felt that caring about the visual component of what you do is not intrinsically superficial or vain.

Metallica - they're so demonic, they're crazy, I don't know how they do it.

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

If somebody thinks wearing pretty dresses onstage somehow discredits us that's pretty absurd.

I've always just wanted to sing in a rock band.
