As a kid, in the Runaways, I would see the interviewers start to ask about our personal lives and what we did โ and I could see the look in their eyes. They were practically frothing at the mouth. So if I answered these questions, I knew they were never gonna talk about the music. It was like that instinct โ donโt go there, man. Have boundaries. Have mystery. You donโt have to let everybody in! I want to be singing to everybody, and I want everybody to think that Iโm singing to them. Guys, girls and everyone in between.
