I've Been Able To Do A Lot

People Are Very Sincere In Their Praise, And You Can't Take It Lightly.

Beyond Just Writing About Falling In Love And Out Of Love And Wanting To Do Certain Things And Going Out And Partying And All The Things That I Grew Up Writing About, I Want To Write About Deeper Things.

You Can Never Say Never. I'm Not Sure If I Even Want To. I Just Don't Know. Some Of It Is Just Not Able To Be Reached, You Can't Remember Some Of It And The People That Could Help You Remember Have Passed Away. It Might Have To Remain A Remain.

That Was Exactly Why People Didn't Want To Give Us Any Kind Of Life, Because We Were Threatening Their Status Quo, And They Just Didn't Want To Have Room For Girls Playing Rock 'n' Roll. It Bothered Them. First, People Just Tried To Get Around It By Saying, "oh, Wow, Isn't That Cute? Girls Playing Rock 'n' Roll!," And When We Said, "yeah, Right, This Isn't A Phase; It's What We Want To Do With Our Lives," It Became, "oh! You Must Be A Bunch Of Sluts. You Dykes, You Whores." That's What It Became. Then It Became A Name-calling Contest.

I Think What People See In Me Is One Slice Of Who I Am. It Does Permeate My Life In The Sense That I Don't Like To Be Told What To Do, Or How To Be, Or How I Can Do It. But I'm Probably A Lot Tamer Than People Would Expect.
