I felt alien my whole life but I didn't feel alien because of my gender. Other people made me aware of my gender.

Everyone thinks of God as a man - you can't help it - Santa Claus was a man, therefore God has to be a man.

When I started making music, we'd lost a lot of our great people. Rock was moving in a direction I didn't like. Rock was my generation's revolutionary, sexual, poetic, and political voice, but it had become corporatized. It was going into stadiums. It was so far removed from its basic roots.

Then I read Little Women, and of course, like a lot of really young girls, I was very taken with Jo - Jo being the writer and the misfit.

I was quite an insomniac. I rarely slept as a child. Having God to talk to at night was nice.

I think guys are more emotional. Men are supposed to be the strong ones, they have pressure on them to be strong, but when it comes to sex men are much more emotional than women.

I hate to be enclosed. I don't like bathroom doors - I don't shut them. In fact, in my house, I have no doors.
