I can't remove the autobiographical slant from the things I write. You always bring yourself into what you're writing.

I would never do a printed memoir. I've been asked to publish a memoir from years by different publishers and literary agents. I think it wouldn't be great for me because all I'd really want to talk about it music and I'd rather just play it.

I don't think women's prisons are environments for dance routines, and I don't think mass murder is humorous.

I've raised my daughter with no television.

It's really wonderful to be able to be nobody, and then have a moment when I can be somebody, and then go right back to being nobody again.

Have I been wrong? Have I been wise to shut my eyes?
