I dont think gender is aesthetically defining for me.

I fingerpick a lot because I can get more of a range of feeling from the guitar than I can when I bash away with a pick.

Some girls are taught to be sexy.

Last year's troubles, They shine up so prettily, They gleam with a lustre they don't have today.

Kindness to me is only powerful if it has the cruel streak behind it. If someone is kind all the time under all circumstances, they're just simple-minded. Kindness is only worth something if you have the cruel streak to back it up.

I still feel conflicted because I don't always get to spend as much time with my daughter as I'd like, given my work.

My mother wanted me to understand that as a woman I could do pretty much whatever I wanted to, that I didn't have to use sex or sexuality to define myself.
