Everything that becomes true starts with a manifesto.
-
I'm a catalogue artist: I compete with Bob Dylan.
-
I have no intention of dying young and being some stinking rock'n'roll person.
-
I don't need plastic in my body to validate me as a woman.
-
The American male runs half of the global world and grows up on rock music from day one. If you can alter the psyche of someone who's growing up to be a rapist or a total misogynist, you're creating values and instead of making the void bigger, you're making it smaller.
-
But I always wound up being the damn John, when I wanted to be the Paul.
-
I had found The Runaways and I had seen Foxes, and I decided I was just gonna become a juvie, like Cherie Currie.
-
I have a lot of regrets, of course I do. I should have taken that part; I should have maybe married that one, I don't know, but I didn't. So I am what I am and I'm pretty confident that I can break in. I think what I have to offer on film and on television is honest.
-
There are ten commandments, I've only broken three.
-
I started chanting when I was living on Hollywood Boulevard, working as a stripper. Within six months, I got my first million dollars and I didn’t have to strip for bucks any more. Then I met Kurt and we still chanted, but we did a lot of drugs together.
-
Songs need to have a secret, cryptic, thematic thing about them, otherwise they are just messy and all over the place.
-
I don't really miss God but I sure miss Santa Claus!
-
I am just the classic person who wants to learn stuff. I want good tutors, and with Kurt I had the best.
-
I'm covered with loser dust.
-
There's not a lot of people expressing anger in the culture. They're expressing a lot of hyper-exaggerated sexuality.
-
For years, despite having impeccable taste, I didn't understand how to convey that I had impeccable taste.
-
[Kurt Cobain] had a lot of German in him. Some Irish. But no Jew. I think that if he had had a little Jew he would have [expletive] stuck it out.
-
There's even one for your titties. I haven't done the boobs mask one yet-you just stick it on your tits, apparently. I have to try it. But I did the foot one and the hand one yesterday, and it makes my skin crazy. It's like I just had sex for four days.
-
I like there to be some testosterone in rock, and it's like I'm the one in the dress who has to provide it.
-
You gotta be able to change worlds.
-
I try to place beautiful imagery next to fucked up imagery, because that's how I view things … I sometimes feel that no one's taken the time to write about certain things in rock, that there's a certain female point of view that's never been given space.
-
I surrounded myself with women when I was growing up because I had this horrible psycho father. Now I'm trying to really appreciate and like men more.
-
I don't think you can ever do too much. Life would be so boring if you didn't have these, like, holes to fall into and climb out of. I want to do everything. I just want everything. I don't think you can ever have too much.

No one's coming in seeing my dogs, daughter or the crack of my ass, forget it.
