Before you can make good music, you just have to shut up. Then the music can say what it has to say.

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.

Now I know I'll never be numb again. A mother is condemned to feel everything forever. And I'm finally afraid, condemned to fear everything forever. But that makes sense: feel someone else's pain, feel someone else's everything.And he's my baby, so everything's okay.

I have to play as much of the game as I allow myself to get the music heard. But it's not unlike the rest of the world, so I'm not as up in arms about it as I could be.

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

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

Popular music sucks so bad right now.
