Anyone who wants to know who I am can just read my lyrics - I've always written about who I am.

I'd like to just be a little bit more open to making mistakes and not worrying about it so much.

Why there aren't people out there willing to have fun playing rock 'n' roll. I just don't get it.

If you're secure in yourself, and even if you're not secure in yourself, you don't need to bully.

People like to tear you down. People are always going to take shots. You've just got to go for it.

It's easier to sit there and say you don't like feminists because they don't have a sense of humor.

I leave for the show at least an hour ahead, and I do some vocal warm-ups, and that's pretty much it.

I don't wait till stage to use my sexuality. My zipper's down right now. I mean, I use it all the time.

Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something. Make your own victories. Make your own mistakes.

I'm not necessarily intimidated by really jocky guys. I can talk football with them, you know what I mean?

I like to hang out with my friends. I love music. I like to go to the movies. I like to eat. I like to cook.

Before I settled on music, I wanted to be an archaeologist, an astronaut, all sorts of really diverse things.

Egotistical people are not pretty. We all know that, I'm sure everybody knows an egotistical person someplace.

In pop music, you say, 'You can do what you want to me.' Rock 'n' roll says, 'I'm gonna do what I want to you.'

I do not knowingly kill any living thing - including insects or rodents - and I thank my food for sustaining me.

A lot of the touring stuff has become a drag. Traveling itself is a drag. Anyone who's been to an airport knows that.

I love sports. I love animals. I love kids. I want to save the world. So how do I combine all those things? I don't know

There's nothing wrong with being single and not getting married and being, you know, just an old single lady. Who cares?

I love sports. I love animals. I love kids. I want to save the world. So how do I combine all those things? I don't know.

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?

Can't break free from the things that you do. I wanna walk, but I run back to you, that's why I hate myself for loving you.

The better your base is, and the more you know from experience, the better off you'll be when you try and make the big move.

Vegan With A Vengeance is on my kitchen shelf. This fun and creative book is delicious for people like me, who don’t eat pets.

I want to be singing to everybody, and I want everybody to think that I'm singing to them. Guys, girls and everyone in between.

You want to have butterflies in your stomach, because if you don't, if you walk out onstage complacent, that's not a good thing.

The Runaways' audience was 90 percent male. That was kind of depressing...Why don't women-our own gender-come out and support us?

Aggressive, tough and defiant may describe me, but that leaves the impression I'm mean and I'm not. People expect me to have fangs.

One of the mistakes I made was believing that the rock n' roll genre as a genre was much more free than the whole pop or R&B scene.

I think I look better in darker clothes. And maybe the fact that I wear black so much makes me more aware of putting people at ease.

Girls see these defined roles they're supposed to follow in life, but when I was a young child, my parents told me I could be anything.

Women play cellos and violins in symphony orchestras. They're playing Beethoven and Bach. What do you mean they can't play rock and roll?

I figured out it was a social thing, what women were allowed to do. At a very young age, I decided I was not going to follow women's rules.

I'm really happy doing what I'm doing. I'm not looking to do anything else. I love what I do. I love music. I love playing. I love touring.

The media says that equality for women has arrived, but if you look around, you still don't see girls playing guitars and having success with it.

I think there's nothing better than seeing a three-chord straight up rock 'n' roll band in your face with sweaty music and three minute good songs.

I think what I'm going to do is get more balance in my life to still be able to go out and play the hard rock 'n' roll and do what I like to do in music

I think what I'm going to do is get more balance in my life to still be able to go out and play the hard rock 'n' roll and do what I like to do in music.

Success isn't one straight line - it's a ladder, and there's always another rung above you to reach out for. Like anything else, there are ups and downs.

I've been doing this stuff for so long it's the one aspect of my life that I've paid attention to and really sort of not paid attention to the rest of it.

Obviously, the music and lyrics are in me, but if I let myself get in my own way, I do. I empty out and let it come, and then the music spirits take over.

A girl playing rock and roll, it's saying I own my sexuality and I'm going to tell you what I'm going to do. And I think people just find that threatening.

I fiercely protect my privacy. I just don't think it's everyone's business to know every little detail about my life. That's just the way I've handled myself.

Life is strong and fragile. It's a paradox... It's both things, like quantum physics: It's a particle and a wave at the same time. It all exists all together.

A lot of people ask me why I don't expand and explore other musical areas, but I like the plain three- and four-chord rock-and-roll that I call the the semi-blues.

I don't know if I get recognized necessarily, though I do get looked at a lot - but I don't know if it's because of who I am, or if people just think I look weird.

Only because The Runaways were my baby and there's no reason to get it back together except to totally have fun. If that's not the goal, then I don't want to do it.

When I came back to it, we amicably separated from Warner Bros. I just picked up where I left off, trying to write the rest of this record. It took awhile to get out.

I'm having fun opening up. Sort of struggling to get the audience into it. It's good. It makes you fight. Not fight like antagonistic. But fight for what you believe.

I've been able to do a lot of things a lot of people haven't, that other people would dream of. I've been able to live out my fantasies, and dreams! So, I'm real lucky.
