Love Is A Battlefield.

In My Early 20s, I Had This Idea That I Was Going To Front A Band, Like Robert Plant Of Led Zeppelin. I Didn't Just Want To Be The Chick Singing Ballads About Somebody Breaking My Heart. Everyone In The Business Said, 'why Don't You Do What Olivia Newton-jonn And Linda Ronstadt Are Doing?' But I Wanted To Sing As A Powerful Female Who Wasn't Afraid To Speak Her Mind Or Be Sexual.

When I Started It Still Wasn't Okay To Be This Age And Still Make This Kind Of Music. And Believe Me, I Consider Our Stuff To Be Much Poppier Than - We're Not On Like Cutting Edge, That Kind Of Thing Anymore. And Even Though We're Not Doing Britney Spears Music Or Nsync, It's Still What I Consider To Be Pop Music. So That Does Give You A Little Bit More Longevity, I Guess. But If Somebody Told Me I'd Be Getting Up There And Singing "heartbreaker" At Fifty I'd Laugh. So I Don't Know, I Have No Idea.

When I Was A Kid About Joining The Peace Corps. It Said It Was "the Hardest Job You'll Ever Love." This Is What Parenting Is, As Far As I'm Concerned. This Is Parenting. That Is The Friggin' Peace Corps. Because You Don't Love Doing This - This Is The Thing You Love The Most In Your Life, It's The Best Thing You Ever Do.

Love And Pain Become One And The Same In The Eyes Of A Wounded Child.

I Never Looked At People Or Singing As Commodities.
