The most exciting rock 'n' roll band of the last 50 years who are still on the road today

I'm always surprised when anything about the band connects. But I love the fact that it's hard for people to understand. We've said before that it's always been a great thing to get certain people to go away thinking, 'Oh dear, she can't play the drums!' 'Fine, if you think it's all a gimmick, go away!' It weeds out people who wouldn't care anyway.

Inspiration and work ethic - they ride right next to each other.

If you don’t have a struggle inside or around you, you have to make one up.

I think it takes a lot of trickery to keep up with the media and its perception of you. I don't know if I have it in me most of the time to care. The music is made first, and the interviews or photos to keep it alive come later as a necessary evil, I suppose.

I certainly wouldn't want a song that I'd already written to be used on a commercial. That seems strange.

Telling yourself you have all the time in the world, all the colors in the palette, that just kills creativity.
