I don't give a damn about my reputation. You're living in the past, it's a new generation.

I grew up in a world that told girls they couldn't play rock 'n' roll.

Other people will call me a rebel, but I just feel like I'm living my life and doing what I want to do. Sometimes people call that rebellion, especially when you're a woman.

I think I look better in darker clothes. And maybe the fact that I wear black so much makes me more aware of putting people at ease.

It's very tough to give advice because it's tough out there for everybody but for a girl it's even tougher, because I don't think the glass ceiling has changed at all in the past 30 years. Otherwise the radio would be covered with girl bands, or girls in bands, so I don't think much has changed on that level. But I think that bands can still have a lot of success trying to go another route.

Disharmony is natural in any band.

When I came back to it, we amicably separated from Warner Bros. I just picked up where I left off, trying to write the rest of this record. It took awhile to get out.
