At the end of the day, women are expected to hold up the world, not annihilate it.
The love for a child is more an unconditional sort of love ... Although some parents are really narcissistic. In general, I think there is an expectation that love will be unconditional, but obviously it's not - even after living with someone for years.
There is something wonderful about singing and writing music, I think there is something special about creativity and the ability humans have in that area.
It's hard to write about a love story with a broken heart.
I tend to want to listen to melancholy music, but sometimes if you're feeling too sad, you can't.
For me performing has a lot to do with being fearless.
No one ever questions the disorder behind her tarantula LA glamour – sociopathy, narcissism – because it’s good rock and roll, good entertainment! I have a low tolerance for manipulative, egomaniacal behaviour, and usually have to remind myself that the person might be mentally ill.
You know, we have our own audience, and it's not like - they just know we're not going to do certain things.
Many designers are gay men making clothes for women. Sometimes I think fashion is more of a conversation between men than it is for women.
It's really hard for me to sing and play bass.
I watch 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' with my daughter. We're very into Buffy and Buffy's friends.
I'm a mom, but I don't always want to look just like that.
The last two records I liked playing a lot.
I have a really hard time writing my own lyrics for this record, because one, I had to write so many and also I was kind of perplexed by the idea of how I was going to sing and play... because at that time, we hadn't really thought about asking someone else.
