You realize you can get good at something, even though ballet almost felt like you could never be good enough. No matter how hard you worked, it was so hard to be a great dancer.

I went to UC Berkeley for college, and it was during the period when the whole punk movement was happening.

I think the culture today is very, very different from what it was in the '60s, and I feel lucky that I grew up at a time when I had these very strong female role models.

I basically taught myself how to sing and play by copying records, and that's just how it was for me. I know that's true for a lot of budding musicians out there - that's the thing that gets them inspired, is trying to learn their favorite songs. I think it's a great way to teach yourself.

I don't read music, which is a shame, actually, and I shouldn't even speak of it because it's embarrassing, but it's true.

There are definitely some stories worth telling and I think there's something to be said for telling your story.
