If there's one thing that differentiates me from the rest of my family it's the rock element. I hung out with friends who like punk rock a lot. Not getting a big record deal, and having a hard time for years, it means you have to prove yourself and scratch your way up from nothing.

It's better to embrace your roots than it is to fight it, because then you're just fighting something that you're not going to win. We're like a band of gypsies, and it makes sense.

Being a woman in music and having kids, it's very hard to do both without neglecting one a bit.

I think my mother was always worried about me when she was alive.

I might not be beautiful, but I'm very interesting!

I've always been given respect because I'm kind of mannish, and I'm not a great beauty. I've never played the coquette card because I'm no good at it.

I have a tendency to run after people who are completely unattainable and uninterested and make a complete fool of myself.
