I come from the home-grown punk ethic, where it doesn't matter if you can't play a note, it's how you communicate.

I consider the Stooges to be pop music.

There's a lot of rage you have to express it somehow. If I didn't express it in song, I'd become incredibly violent.

It's tragic when people think feminism is a dirty word.

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.

Pop music allows you to be who you are without having to wear a social uniform or to conform, which some people find impossible to do.

I have this massive love for the whole culture of pop music... It's my fascination, my on-going passion.
