I am flattered to have been the woman to have opened the door for female rockers to be accepted into the mainly male industry.

We all live under the same sky, but we don't all have the same horizon.

It is very important to develop the thing that you are naturally good at, that you are truly interested in.

It is some relief to weep; grief is satisfied and carried off by tears.

The very life which we enjoy is short. [Lat., Vita ipsa qua fruimur brevis est.]
