When you are famous, you never can be sure why somebody's being nice. You just have to develop a very good sixth sense. I call it my bullshit detector.

The bass player's function, along with the drums, is to be the engine that drives the car... everything else is merely colours.

Guitar is for the head, drums are for the chest, but bass gets you in the groin

I am flattered to have been the woman to have opened the door for female rockers to be accepted into the mainly male industry.

I keep on having ideas and developments. Some happen and some don't, but I still always have a way of telling a story.

There are only five things really worth drawing; four of them are pretty girls and the fifth is cats.

I am religious in the sense that I believe in God and I believe that there is an abiding logical spirit that controls what goes on to a certain extent.
