It's too heart-wrenching doing the solo thing. I throw myself into it and get so excited, and then 2000 people buy it and you're, like, 'Oh. I guess it's not that good after all.'

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

Sometimes I would write something that was so private, people would say, 'Make it more universal.' I never liked that idea. I always thought the more personal a song was, the more people would want to hear it.

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.

I find acting slightly nerve racking, but I like the challenge.

I used to think when I was in the Go-Go's that we were as wild as any of the boy bands.

If I was in charge, I'd keep doing The Go-Go's forever, but it's a band so everyone has their say.
