It's incredible to have people come up to you and tell you that you changed their life when their life was really, really dark. That you brought some light in. You also learn that it's OK to be a weirdo and not follow the rules. ”

Life is nutty, so it's good to sing and have a good time. ”

We're playing small clubs and doing it all in a van. I have management, and they've done a good job of getting our tour plan together, but we're still having to go and rent the vehicles and all the little things you need to do. You really have to watch your budget. ”

I came to work one day, and Ricky was playing music on his guitar, just snickering. He played me the riff that turned out to be 'Rock Lobster,' and it was hilarious. He was just trying to be funny. His guitar style made it moodier, and it really is a driving song, but it does have that funny humor to it. ”

A lot of people write and tell us what The B-52s meant to them - straight, straight-A students, those who were a little awkward, weren't always the ones who fit in. People have told us that just having us and our music was beyond important and really made me feel that what we were doing was worth something big. ”

We all have a hidden mystic quality if we can learn and trust to tap into that power. ”

I get to play around with different ideas and beautiful melodies. I don't have to yell in a rock voice. I think you can get an emotional depth in the types of rooms we're playing that you can't find in larger rooms. ”

I had my hair down for a long time. I shaved my head, you know, a couple of years ago. And, then, I started to wear my hair short, and I thought that was cool. But, at the same time, I never want to put rules down on me and say, 'OK, I do this for this and this for that.' I just don't like rules. I don't. ”

You try to stay in the moment and act like you're singing the song for the first time. You try to have a good time yourself. That's the most important thing. If you're having a good time, people will join you. ”

I should have only one cup of coffee a day. I try to do that most of the time, but sometimes on the road you need a little more. ”
