I consider that success for anything, whether it's being a musician or a writer. As long as you can support yourself, you're successful. People need to change their idea of what success is.

I know that sounds cliché, but mostly from my own experiences and things I see around me. We're all human beings, and a lot of the things I write about are pretty universal things.

Egotistical people are not pretty. We all know that, I'm sure everybody knows an egotistical person someplace.

People don't want to see women doing things they don't think women should do.

Being the first is kind of dirty, and it's great

Rock 'n' roll music is what gets me off.

I've been doing this stuff for so long it's the one aspect of my life that I've paid attention to and really sort of not paid attention to the rest of it.
