I grew up in a commune where no one considered me female, particularly.

The songs keep on writing themselves, and I really love them. It's as close as I get to a religion.

Popular music sucks so bad right now.

I don't mind what the market is, but why is it vapid? If they're such a bunch of idiots, why don't you show them good music instead? They're not going to know the difference.

Nirvana was pop. You can have distorted guitars and people say it's alternative, but you can't break out of pop music's constructs and still get extensive radio play and media coverage.

I guess I'll just slip into the studio after the next time with the Muses, and then just keel over and die.

That's my dream job, to be able to mail songs out to people who want to hear them. Paste my face on them and not travel all over the world trying to sell them.
