You're always going to feel like you're catching up, and part of that is just balancing work and motherhood and the whole feeling of needing to please, which I do think girls and women feel more than men.

When Punk Rock happened, it created an opening in the culture... it made it ok to think you could play music, even though you had no musical training.
