Pop music seems to be the way radio programming has chosen to support female artists. They have chosen not to support a more provocative voice from women, which I find disappointing.

I am laughably aggressive, and the rest of the band is very laid back, so we mix well.

I was always embarrassed because my dad wore a suit and my mother wore flat pumps and a cozy jumper while my friends' parents were punks or hippies.

A lot of celebrities just want money, fame, power, fancy cars, houses all over the world and have people BOW DOWN to them. To me, that's frightful behaviour.

Mozart was a punk, which people seem to forget. He was a naughty, naughty boy.

People don't associate red hair, pale skin, and freckles with beauty.

I want to hear an alternative viewpoint, and I don't want girls to be defanged and declawed and pretty and mute.

No, I like being a role model because I know how much comfort my musical idols brought me.

I think it's a great thing to have failed in life and then pulled yourself up by the boot straps and actually done something, because then you appreciate it more.

I say embrace the total geek in yourself and just enjoy it. Life is too short to be cool.

Knowledge is the most powerful weapon.

Life is about the moments you create, that you can keep with you forever.After everything is over, That is what we have or what we are left with.

Every human interaction offers you the chance to make things better or to make things worse.

Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

I feel like any time I'm doing what I love, my big pay-off is watching somebody else be the receiver.

In my worst moments, I try to think about loving instead of hating. Creation versus destruction, know what I'm sayin'?

I think Michael O'Donoghue felt he'd said what he wanted to say. In fact, nobody thought we could spin it out long enough to make a book.

When your own mind tells you to quit, you must ignore your negative thoughts and press on.

The war is relentless: it puts the alternative in a ruthless relief.
