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 want to break the old paradigm of thinking that if you're successful, you have to crash and burn-that all of this won't be there tomorrow.

My eyes change colors, which is why you guys have never been able to figure it out.

I first met Hanson over in Japan and they gave me some great advice about the fans and they seem real down to earth. They're great.

Stop thinking you have to go to big industry to have a big life, because it's not the truth.

Whatever it is that you love to do, be it collect comic books or play the guitar, that you can make a living at it, do it.

I've come up against a few challenges. I've just taken them on with a really pure energy. I'm not out to change people's minds. I'm out to maybe educate and inspire.
