people joyce
People have always told me a lot that I remind them of Joyce DeWitt.
forever band ifs
If I was in charge, I'd keep doing The Go-Go's forever, but it's a band, so everyone has their say.
pain wake-up world
It's one thing to be twenty and touring the world, but doing it in your forties, you wake up with aches and pains.
baby firsts first-baby
The Go-Go's were like my first babies.
stars hollywood sometimes
Sometimes when you get old, you get a star on Hollywood Boulevard.
book fans culture
A lot of comic conventions go way beyond comic books and include other parts of pop culture, like celebrities and science fiction and movies and books. So I go to them either as a celebrity, or as a fan, because I'm a big sci-fi geek.
heart people excited
It's too heart-wrenching doing the solo thing. I throw myself into it and get so excited, and then 2000 people buy it and you're, like, 'Oh. I guess it's not that good after all.'
band
Badfinger were a great band
cancer support causes
I personally know women who are Breast Cancer survivors and will do all I can to support the cause. Besides, I love boobies!
religious thinking fairness-and-equality
It's just better to promote love and fairness and equality than it is to promote something you think is based on your religious beliefs.
When I was 15, I never thought I'd live to see 21. And then I became 21, and I'm like, 'I'll never live to see 30.'
bit love songs
I try to make everything I write a little bit different. Those songs that go, 'I love you so much and you love me,' they're boring. If I'm going to write a love song, it's going to be a little bit tortuous.
art book business comic comics ended fast few fly kid mad minutes realize tend
I didn't read many comics as a kid - I've always been a really fast reader, and I would fly through a comic book in a few minutes and be so mad that it ended so quickly. But now that I've been in the business, I tend to look at the panels so much more carefully, and realize that so much of it is about the art; I don't think I got that before.
again bands early fall generation green hearing love music nineties offspring punk remember since tenth time turnaround
I made the big turnaround in the early Nineties when I started hearing all the tenth generation punk bands like Green Day and Offspring and all those people. It just made me fall in love with punk again and remember my roots, and since that time I've always wanted to do more of that kind of music again.
