Bowie's a real man, and I'm a real woman - just like Catherine Deneuve.

Onstage I've been hit by a grapefruit, beercans, eggs, spit, money, cigarette butts, Mandies, Quaaludes, joints, bras, panties, and a fist.

I think that all the years of exposure to amps and electricity has altered my body chemistry.

I was who I was in high school in accordance with the rules of conduct for a normal person, like obeying your mom and dad. Then I got out of high school and moved out of the house, and I just started, for lack of a better term, running free.

You know what I think you get scared of more - especially me, after touring for so long and being in bands for so long - you start to associate certain behavior with the music. It's like people associate having a cigarette with having a cup of coffee, or lunch.

I like music that's more offensive. I like it to sound like nails on a blackboard, get me wild.

Studios are like hospitals. A lot of people check in, and they don't check out.
