Being The First Is Kind Of Dirty,

I've Done Some Acting And A Lot Of Different Things, But Mostly It's The Music.

That Was Exactly Why People Didn't Want To Give Us Any Kind Of Life, Because We Were Threatening Their Status Quo, And They Just Didn't Want To Have Room For Girls Playing Rock 'n' Roll. It Bothered Them. First, People Just Tried To Get Around It By Saying, "oh, Wow, Isn't That Cute? Girls Playing Rock 'n' Roll!," And When We Said, "yeah, Right, This Isn't A Phase; It's What We Want To Do With Our Lives," It Became, "oh! You Must Be A Bunch Of Sluts. You Dykes, You Whores." That's What It Became. Then It Became A Name-calling Contest.

I Think The One-on-one Gigs Connecting With The Fans - Is The Most Important Thing. That Will Help Build Your Fan Base. They'll Talk About You, And Word Spreads. Those Things Are Just As Important As Knowing How To Play An E Chord.

I Think The Media Has Got Into This Enquirer Mentality. Years Ago, Legitimate Press Didn't Really Concern Itself With Sordid Details Of People's Personal Lives. That Wasn't The Focus. But Also A Lot Of Celebrities Were Bullied Into Revealing This Breakup Or Tragedy Or Divorce Or Problem. They Started To Talk About It And The Press Just Started To Talk About People's Private Lives. That Just Seems To Be The Norm.

I Left My Family, And I Left My Brother And Sister, And I Went And Lived My Dream. I Saw Everybody, But Is It Ever Enough?
