Just because you're wearing a goofy hat doesn't make it performance art.

I think as a culture, we don't like conflict or looking at icky stuff - especially in our downtime.

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

Just because I'm a woman doesn't mean I'm the same as every other female singer.

I don't consider myself a divining rod whom God is speaking through or any kind of crap like that.

I never thought that someone would be teaching one of my fanzines. I never thought I'd be off to lecture at a college. It's still shocking to me.

If people are like, 'Oh, you're an icon,' then whatever. But who thinks of themselves like that? It's not like I have posters of myself on the wall.
