I Just Write What I Want To

Every Band I've Been In, It's Just Become My Total Life. I Feel Like A Child Star - I've Missed Out On So Much. I Never Got To Play Grand Theft Auto And Get Stoned Every Day. I Figure At 45 I Should Probably Start Doing That.

Certain People Are Like 'oh, Here Come The Feminazis!' You End Up Acting 10 Times Nicer Than You Even Need To Be, To Be The Opposite Of The Stereotype Like 'you're The Man Haters!' We're Always Bending Over Backwards Being Extra Nice. And I Don't Know If Being Nice Is My Legacy.

Younger Feminists Actually Care About Stuff That Came Before Them, The Same Way That I Totally Cared About And Loved And Felt So Lucky To Have Access To The Feminism That Came Before Me. To Have Younger People Take What Me And My Friends Have Done, And To Say 'we Have Access To That, But We're Going To Put That Through Our Own Internet Generation Filter And We're Going To Make It Into Something That Speaks To Us And Is A Lot Smarter.'

If I Had To Choose Between The Band Or The Friendships, I'd Choose The Friendships At This Point.

My Illness Has Changed Me - I've Always Thought "life Is Short And I Wanna Make As Much Of It As I Can," But I Really Don't Have Time To Mess Around. This Has Really Been A Wake-up Call In Terms Of What's Important, And I'm Working Hard To Figure That Out. I Need To Get Better At Not Doing Favors For People All The Time. It's Hard Because There's So Many People Who Have Helped Me Get To The Point Where I'm In A Band That People Wanna Come See, Or Where People Pay Money To See Me Lecture.
