I've always gravitated towards songwriting that happens easily and spontaneously, because those have always been my best songs.

It's one thing to be twenty and touring the world, but doing it in your forties, you wake up with aches and pains.

What I've found - and the older I get, the more I understand this and stand behind it - is, my whole life has been an exploration of telling the truth. It's scary to be truthful, and it's scary to reveal yourself, and I'm very attracted to doing things that scare me.

The whole punk scene is, of course, responsible for the Go-Go's ever getting created. Because before punk rock happened, you couldn't start a band if you didn't know how to play an instrument. But when punk happened it was like, 'Oh, it doesn't matter if you can play or not. Go ahead, make a band.' And that's exactly what the Go-Go's did.

People have always told me a lot that I remind them of Joyce DeWitt.

If I believed in hell, I'd definitely be going there.

I love being a Go-Go. It definitely has its ups and downs, and we have a very intense energy with each other.
