People don't want to see women doing things they don't think women should do.

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.

A girl playing rock and roll, it's saying I own my sexuality and I'm going to tell you what I'm going to do. And I think people just find that threatening.

I don't really care if you think I'm strange--I ain't gonna change!

I think it's important to have mystique.

You know I don't care if the world thinks I'm smart or not.

I think what people see in me is one slice of who I am. It does permeate my life in the sense that I don't like to be told what to do, or how to be, or how I can do it. But I'm probably a lot tamer than people would expect.

God, I always just think of myself as a jeans and T-shirt kind of person.

I hope one day people don't look at women like they're out of their minds when they want to pick up an instrument and play. And I think we're getting a lot closer to that.
