Punk is just as much a form of folk music as anything is!

People might say I'm difficult, but did you ever hear anyone describe a label as 'difficult'? By nature, artists should challenge. When they call you difficult, it is a reflection of the imbalance of power.

Writing and singing does give me some kind of release from the demons of my past, it is a therapy of sorts, but to be honest, my marriage played a more important role in the acceptance of myself than performance has ever done.

Music is too important to be left to professionals.

They sign a bunch of women, and they call it a movement. I don't like the way women in music have been identified as women first and musicians second.

I resent like hell that I was maybe eighteen before I ever heard the 'L' word. It would have made all the difference for me had I grown up knowing that the reason I didn't fit in was because they hadn't told me there were more categories to fit into.

We've come a long way, we've come a long way and we never even left L.A.
