I wasn't interested in fabricating things and altering what I did to make hit records.

I spent most of my adult life as someone's mother and the rest of my life trying to make sure that children are safe. So this to me is - we wrote Hell Is For Children in 1979.

Everything must change, everything must move forward.

First of all, I'm pretty private about my personal life.

Most chick-singers say "If you hurt me, I'll die"... I say, if you hurt me, I'll kick your ass.

I have different reasons for the way that I react to things now that I have kids. It's not about me, it's about my children going out into this world that makes me say, "What the hell are you all doing?" I have to put them out there, and then I have to worry.

It's really hard to make records and concentrate and have a free mind, because I have this whole other life. If you don't have kids it's a whole other thing. I think you can be fifty and still have a rock and roll lifestyle; you can still perpetuate that.
