We don't have a lot of neighbors so we can blast the stereo

It's better for me to play with guys because Rock 'n' Roll has such an aggressive attitude

I was never ready to give up, but I did get words of confidence to move forward from a few musicians that had climbed up the totem pole of rock. They were encouraging words that struck a nerve with me and made me stronger.

I don't want to change. I don't ever want to be a stuck-up asshole. I mean, some people probably think I am now, but I don't care what they think, because I know I'm not. I'm a down to earth person. I always have time for my fans. I don't care who they are, what they look like, if they're rich or poor, pretty or ugly. I always have time for them. I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for them, and I'll never forget that.

Don't get me wrong, I've seen some very excellent women musicians.

You're stuck in front of the microphone. You can't use your hands. I like to do things

I think it gets boring (for the audience) for the lead singer to have a guitar hanging on them all the time
