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.

I always felt like an outsider to the music world in a certain way. There was so much less of an art culture in L.A. - and particularly in the South Bay.

You can't be a strong or cool woman and be represented except in a harsh way, looking mean and cold and hard. It's like reverse sexism.

It's really hard for me to sing and play bass.

Everyone's so interior now, they're not really looking around them. They're on their phones.

I really like Olivier Assayas filmmaking. He always has this global - economy thing going on.

No one talks about woman power. The Spice Girls - they're masquerading as little girls. It's repulsive.
