I went to college and stage school, and thought about acting, but... I just don't like actors very much! They're not as fun as musicians.

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

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.

My childhood definitely revolved around my relationship with my brother. I wanted to be different. I wanted to find my way of being as intriguing and interesting as he was.

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've always had a tendency to push the envelope as far as it can go without hurting someone's feelings.

I was not that pretty a girl and I was never pursued as a teenager or young woman, so I was used to having no shame and trying to get people to love me.
