There are some strong female performers out there. But the industry's pre-occupation with the packaging of how a woman looks has gone completely the other way, back to almost the 60s, early 70s.

There is a fun, flippant side to me, of course. But I would much rather be known as the Ice Queen.

People forget the punk thing was really good for women. It motivated them to pick up a guitar rather than be a chanteuse. It allowed us to be aggressive.

I think a certain amount of anger has been a fuel of mine, if you want - but also some sort of sadness, and plain mischief, of course.

My dreams are of water. And my nightmares.

I hate the industry even more now, no bands get nurtured anymore. Labels only spend money promoting acts they know will be Top Ten. I find it offensive spending $2 million on a video.

I like a bit of eye candy like anyone but to have it solely about the eye candy and have it fall into a category so rigidly as well is wrong.

I liked the idea of being a writer and letting somebody else do the graft.

I love the ocean. I've always liked the blue, so tranquil and peaceful and gliding. And the fear of it.

Religion isn't the problem ignorance and hatred are.

If it makes you happy, it’s what you’re supposed to do.

City people. They may know how to street fight but they don't know how to wade through manure.

I resisted the film business as long as I could, because of the big circus act and the amount of money that it costs to make films - I saw my father suffer through that.

Every cannabis user is a medical patient whether they know it or not

I hate how people say I'm growing up fast.

I have a long history of being told I have no rhythm, and of people saying 'I've heard chickens sing better than that'.

The Lord gives us friends to push us to our potential — and enemies to push us beyond it.

Everyone's got their problems and their demons, but when we get onstage and play as five, that really all goes away, and that's really all I look at.
