Somehow or another, my mother taught me to push through my fear, always. Feel the fear and do it anyway.

I refuse to step inside the ring and fight like a gladiator against my own. I'm not playing that game. Any woman who has survived a year or more of making music has my undying respect.

Here's the tragedy of the modern record business: It's radio. If you're not on radio, nobody really is going to hear you or see you or care about you.

I wanted to put out a solo record because I was stuck on a major label and sick of it.

I've always been an outsider. I am an outsider in Garbage. I'm the odd one out by default.

I have a temper on me that could hold back tides.

I plan on doing as much in my life as I possibly can.
