If you have stage fright, it never goes away. But then I wonder: is the key to that magical performance because of the fear?
I have no fear, I have only love.
The day before my 16th birthday I got my guitar.
We fought very hard for feminism, for women’s rights. What I’m seeing today is a very opposite thing. I don’t know why, but I see women being put back in the place. And I hate it. We’re losing all we worked so hard for and it really bums me out.
Klonopin – more deadly than coke.
The truly incredible thing is were realizing that you can perform a two-and-a-half-hour gig without being high and still have a fantastic time.
If you see somebody running down the street naked every single day, you stop looking up.
Thunder only happens when it’s raining...
And I knew then, as I know now, that I still have so much to do.
I’m timeless, I got that Dickensian, London street-urchin look in high school. I’ll never be in style, but I’ll always be different.

We don’t need to have somebody that’s gonna make sure they pay for our market bills. It’s like we have only one reason to love and that is for the real idea of love.
I keep all my poems in my journals and lock them away. They are the start of everything.
The people that can’t sing anymore that had great voices are the people that went away for five years and then just decided to come back. And you just can’t make a comeback. Comebacks are no good. You have to just keep singing. Or keep dancing.
Most bands people have side projects and it’s not considered a death threat as it was say, with The Beatles.
That’s not going to happen, because I don’t want it to happen. I don’t want a movie about me until I’m very, very old – when I’m very, very old, everybody that wants to play me will be middle-aged.
I sketch the faces upside down because it’s like drawing from the left side of the brain or the right side of the brain. I never took an art lesson in my life.
