Once I discovered music, I knew what I wanted to do.

There weren't a lot of girl singers around. Paul McCartney and John Lennon were the guys I looked up to.

I get inspired at different times and in different ways.

There will always be rock stars, but I don't know how much depth and longevity they'll have.

I can't imagine that anybody is as screwed up as I am.

I do have a lot of deep religious iconography. I have crosses all over my house, and there's something very attractive about seeing nuns walking down the street. It's not a sexual thing for me; I know it is for some guys.

As I've gotten older, I realize how important my fans are and that I'm here because of them and not the other way around.
