boys thinking band
I used to think when I was in the Go-Go's that we were as wild as any of the boy bands.
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.
scary scare truthful
What I've found - and the older I get, the more I understand this and stand behind it - is, my whole life has been an exploration of telling the truth. It's scary to be truthful, and it's scary to reveal yourself, and I'm very attracted to doing things that scare me.
dog beach exercise
I love that there are beaches you can walk your dog on in San Francisco. Fort Funston is big and always packed with hundreds of dogs and their people. A great place to hike and get some exercise and fresh air with your well-mannered pup. Not recommended for antisocial dogs; there's just too much commotion there.
people joyce
People have always told me a lot that I remind them of Joyce DeWitt.
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!
stars hollywood sometimes
Sometimes when you get old, you get a star on Hollywood Boulevard.
baby firsts first-baby
The Go-Go's were like my first babies.
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.
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.
song songwriting happens
I've always gravitated towards songwriting that happens easily and spontaneously, because those have always been my best songs.
