I think I have the best of both worlds because I am a woman, but I'm also a tomboy.

Touring is my favorite part of being a musician. All the places I've traveled and lived affect me in many different ways. Good and bad.

Some people don't take me seriously, so I had to work harder.

I grew up always hanging out with boys, and I always wanted to play rock 'n' roll with boys, and so I've always acted kind of like a man.

I worked really hard to develop me as an artist and as a musician. I have so many different influences and play so many different instruments, I don't think anyone knew what to do with me!

I know what I want and what I might gain, and yet, how profitless to know.

We read many books, because we cannot know enough people.
