We always play clubs. It's not something that I feel above. Those are my favorite shows because they're intimate, they're tight, their sweaty, they're hot. You're close to the people. Those are my favorites.

   

You know, I have a really tough time finding new bands.

   

I'd like to just be a little bit more open to making mistakes and not worrying about it so much.

   

I grew up in a world that told girls they couldn't play rock 'n' roll.

   

And you have a record company behind it, this is a key too, you need people to fight for your records, at least a little bit. So if you have a great song, it's catchy, and you've got a little bit of help, I think that's all you need. But there hasn't been that in music.

   

I've been doing this stuff for so long it's the one aspect of my life that I've paid attention to and really sort of not paid attention to the rest of it.

   

Shaving my head was a millennium ritual, to not let it pass as just another New Year's Eve. A lot has happened to me in the last couple of years, personally and spiritually. I wanted to mark it for myself.

   

My parents taught me I could be anything in the world I wanted to be.

   

I don't know if I miss it per se, but I do miss the fact that there just doesn't seem to be any rock 'n' roll out there anyplace. Everything does seem kind of tame. It's even hard in Manhattan to go out and find a good band to go see.

   

My guitar is not a thing. It is an extension of myself. It is who I am.

   

We were really grown up for our age and it was an incredible special band.

   

I think there's nothing better than seeing a three-chord straight up rock 'n' roll band in your face with sweaty music and three minute good songs.

   

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.

   

Rock 'n' roll music is what gets me off.

   

I love sports. I love animals. I love kids. I want to save the world. So how do I combine all those things? I don't know.

   

I really wanted it to be organic and coming from my heart. So, I think maybe the initial thought of wanting to go in that direction, I had to wait until things happened in our world and in our country that fired me up enough where the words came out organically.

   

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.

   

I had a blast doing the Warped Tour, but it's good to be home, for sure.

   

Girls have got balls. They're just a little higher up that's all.
