I like energy. I like to feel it cracklin', I like sexual energy in a room, and I like tension.

I was never a singer, I can't play any instruments, I had no training. Plus, I was brought up in a time when all the great rock stars were male. I didn't have any template for what I was doing. I did what I did out of frustration and concern.
