You follow any family around, you're going to see elation, you're going to see disharmony.

I went from a naive, regular girl in high school to trying to realize my dream. When my family moved from the East Coast to California, I thought in my little brain, "Wow, I'm going to Hollywood. I could actually make this happen." It was easier for me to think it's possible living in a place like Los Angeles than trying to do it in suburban Maryland.

I think what I'm going to do is get more balance in my life to still be able to go out and play the hard rock 'n' roll and do what I like to do in music

I don't wait till stage to use my sexuality. My zipper's down right now. I mean, I use it all the time.

A lot of the songs I've recorded are songs I write.

If you really believe in yourself, you cannot listen to other people.

Aggressive, tough and defiant may describe me, but that leaves the impression I'm mean and I'm not. People expect me to have fangs.
