The most important thing is that it's much more fun to play in a band than to be in an audience in a club. That's the main thing I think, that you can do it.

Actually, there was another band where we were three girls, around '84 when I met John Zorn, called Sunset Chorus. It was just bass and drums and guitar- we didn't make any records but we played a lot of different clubs in New York.

I really didn't intend to be a musician when I left Japan.

I got tired of different drum sounds so you buy different effects for more manipulation.

I was playing in other rock bands. Any of those bands didn't last long.

With a rock band, you play the same things over and over and over.

I've done some music for films and I really enjoy doing it.
