It's the same thing now. When I go onstage the young people scream and holler as much as the older generation.
A few years ago, I thought, I'll never make it. I started to go to the doctor to help me lose weight.
I'm not a braggart, but when I was a little girl people used to come from all over Hollywood to hear me sing.
They prospect of seeing oneself in the mirror clean-shaven is too close to a Vincent Price film... a prospect not to be contemplated, no matter the compensation.
The blues is a mighty long road. Or it could be a river, one that twists and turns and flows into a sea of limitless musical potential.

My favorite album would have to be Rocket To Russia. I feel this album has the most classic Ramones songs.
Cancer softened me up. I like the old me better. I liked being angry. It made me feel strong.

Where I live, there's a lot of canyons. We're climbing constantly - we're like mountain goats. I'm just trying to get better at that.
I've been touring a lot, and I don't always know how to get around. Google Maps on the iPhone is pretty helpful with that.
I found songwriting really hard at first, but after a while it was actually very easy. I wrote about everyday stuff.
