Being a woman is really crap.

I'm quite repulsed by the diva type.

I love to sing old Motown songs to myself, or some Patti Smith Edith Piaf or Billie Holiday. That gets me in the mood for singing.

We were signed to a label that wanted us to remain little girls who appealed to other little girls, who were cute and non-threatening.

I consider the Stooges to be pop music.

I've always been an outsider; a displaced person.

I'm still grappling with all the things most people resolve by the time they're 35. Maybe that's why I make music that is relevant to young people. I'm emotionally stuck at the age of 13.
