I Love School. I Was

A Girl Playing Rock And Roll, It's Saying I Own My Sexuality And I'm Going To Tell You What I'm Going To Do. And I Think People Just Find That Threatening.

I Wanted To Be An Actor, An Astrologer, An Astronaut; A Lot Of Different Things Were Going Through My Mind. But I Also Wanted To Play Guitar. I Mentioned To My Parents That I Wanted An Electric Guitar For Christmas. They Got Me One! I Sat There All Christmas Morning Making A Lot Of Loud Horrible Noise.

Rock And Roll By Its Nature Is Sexual. So Girls Playing Rock And Roll Is Saying To The World, "we Own Our Sexuality." I Think That Pop Music Is Sort Of About "you Can Do What You Want To Me" Kind Of Energy, While Rock And Roll Is "i'm Going To Do What I Want To You" Kind Of Energy.

So It Was Out Of Necessity That Blackheart Was Born. I Think It's Great That Now, 25 Years Later, We're Not Only Putting Out Our Own Music, But Are Able To Put Out Music By Other Bands. That's Really Exciting For Us.

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.
