I love Chrissie Hynde and Mick Jagger. Someone at Capitol pointed out how much my inflections are similar to Jagger's.

I'm a humanist. I'm an observer. I have a very scientific mind. I believe metaphysics and science absolutely blended are more the truth for me. It doesn't work just believing in what somebody says.

My favorite color is purple. I have a huge velvet purple comforter on my bed.

I think people are basically unhappy working their jobs, and we all need to have that thing that gets our juices flowing.

My parents always saw me as an artist, and that greatly influenced me

I don't mean that to be egotistical, but I'm not writing fluff. I'm not writing for 8-year-olds. I'm a woman and I'm a rock girl.

I know my ambitions are big, but you've got to have something after rock and roll.
