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.
Women are still second-class citizens.
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.
Pop music is not a threatening style of music.
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.
It's easier to sit there and say you don't like feminists because they don't have a sense of humor.
If you're secure in yourself, and even if you're not secure in yourself, you don't need to bully.
You know, I have a really tough time finding new bands.
I don't like to say where I'll be in 10 years.
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.
Nobody knows what anticipation is anymore. Everything is so immediate.
I had a blast doing the Warped Tour, but it's good to be home, for sure.
Blackheart Records being 25 years old represents staying power and the fact that we weren't able to get a record out through conventional means, so we had to create this record company to put out our records if we wanted to be a band that had records to give out to their fans.
Def Leppard is obviously a different band that we are, but the music work well tighter. And the audiences seem work well together too. We are opening, but we're having a good time.
I love to engage with people who come to see us.
I remember times when I was at shows and the person onstage locked eyes with me. And in that moment, everything was right with the world. I think that's part of my job, to create these thousands of moments every night. And for the rest of their life, they can say, 'You guys looked at me,' or 'You sweated on me,' or 'I got your gum.'
I plan to stay in music. I plan to keep making records.
I sure saw a lot of kids that I'm sure didn't know a lot about us, or we were definitely new to them. The kids who came up to me afterward, we'd talk about music, sign a lot of autographs. So I'm sure we made a lot of new fans.
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'd like to just be a little bit more open to making mistakes and not worrying about it so much.
