I think there’s nothing better than seeing a straight up three-chord rock and roll band in your face.
I think I was born strong-willed. That’s not the kind of thing you can learn. The advantage is, you stick to what you believe in and rarely get pushed out of what you want to do.
I don’t give a damn about my reputation. You’re living in the past, it’s a new generation.
I don’t know if I get recognized necessarily, though I do get looked at a lot – but I don’t know if it’s because of who I am, or if people just think I look weird.
Girls have got balls. They’re just a little higher up, that’s all.
Other people will call me a rebel, but I just feel like I’m living my life and doing what I want to do. Sometimes people call that rebellion, especially when you’re a woman.
In pop music, you say, ‘You can do what you want to me.’ Rock ‘n’ roll says, ‘I’m gonna do what I want to you.’
The thing I get out of it is the connection. I remember going to shows as a kid and meeting eyes with the people in the band, and knowing they are meeting eyes with you, and that moment, that smile, and that’s your moment. I want to create millions of little moments for other people.
I figured out it was a social thing, what women were allowed to do. At a very young age, I decided I was not going to follow women’s rules.
Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something. Make your own victories. Make your own mistakes.
I’m concentrating on staying healthy, having peace, being happy, remembering what is important, taking in nature and animals, spending time reading, trying to understand the universe, where science and the spiritual meet.
