I still have all the faith and love for my music and yet I'm still playing places for kids.

I'm totally committed to the cause of individuality. That's the only thing I stand by: independence.

The is a lot of anti-sexism coming from my point of view as a woman who deals with it every day. I think sexism is a form of discrimination. It is similar to other forms of discrimination. I think people should feel empowered to not take s**t from anyone.

The whole thing about rock music, pop music, is it's really for kids.

My guitar playing has not developed as much as I think it could because I never practice. I only play when I'm writing or recording or when I'm playing on tour. When I'm sitting around at home, I never play.

People in L.A. don't have to brace themselves against the cold; they slack off permanently, and their brains turn to mush.

People are complex. I'm just showing my complexity.
