Art revolves around creating something that isn't there.

Every band I've been in, it's just become my total life. I feel like a child star - I've missed out on so much.

It takes your mind off things when there's a cat in your lip and he's purring while you're petting him.

When I first started out I actually was trying to use music to promote feminist ideas and at certain points, anti-violence against women and girls-type causes I was involved in.

I think music can definitely be art; I also think music can be crap and not be art.

It's so crazy because kids that wrote to me when they were 14 years old are still in my life. A lot have gone on to become musicians and artists in their own right who inspire me now.

I wanna be a legend; I wanna be a cult hero. I do!
