I wanted to learn a little bit about acting, not because I thought I'd find a star vehicle and set the world on fire, but I thought the discipline of it would be good for me. I met a good coach, and I joined her class - with a lot of hungry young actors who really didn't acre if I was a rock 'n' roll singer or not. I started to learn to get a focus, without having to jump up and down every few seconds.

Pussy power's pulling me down, down, down, down. When it's there and I can't have it, I get real real rabid.

If I started thinking too much about how influential I've been, then I'd be more of a turd than I already am.

I'm not ashamed to dress "like a woman" because I don't think it's shameful to be a woman.

If you give a good performance, something that gets some feeling across to people, that’s such a rare gift. It’s underestimated at this point in history, when the music biz is inevitably turning into a kind of politics.

Nihilism is best done by professionals.

Music is life, and life is not a business.
