I never wanted to model myself on a female singer, which tells you a lot about my character. I didn't have a female role model. There just wasn't anybody around. I played with the boys and beat them at their own game.

I don't really think about male and female; if something's right for me, it's right for me, and it doesn't matter what it is - maybe that's what it took for me, a woman, to break down the doors.

I was a me-ist. I believed in the right to do whatever I wanted to do regardless of gender. Still do.

I am flattered to have been the woman to have opened the door for female rockers to be accepted into the mainly male industry.

The difficulty with marriage is that we fall in love with a personality, but must live with a character.

Marriage is gonna be your stability through everything.

If we did not have the impulse and ability to believe in the impossible, we would not have religion, democracy, or marriage.

I love kids. I think I'm a child at heart.
