stars hollywood sometimes
Sometimes when you get old, you get a star on Hollywood Boulevard.
book fans culture
A lot of comic conventions go way beyond comic books and include other parts of pop culture, like celebrities and science fiction and movies and books. So I go to them either as a celebrity, or as a fan, because I'm a big sci-fi geek.
heart people excited
It's too heart-wrenching doing the solo thing. I throw myself into it and get so excited, and then 2000 people buy it and you're, like, 'Oh. I guess it's not that good after all.'
band
Badfinger were a great band
cancer support causes
I personally know women who are Breast Cancer survivors and will do all I can to support the cause. Besides, I love boobies!
religious thinking fairness-and-equality
It's just better to promote love and fairness and equality than it is to promote something you think is based on your religious beliefs.
art book business comic comics ended fast few fly kid mad minutes realize tend
I didn't read many comics as a kid - I've always been a really fast reader, and I would fly through a comic book in a few minutes and be so mad that it ended so quickly. But now that I've been in the business, I tend to look at the panels so much more carefully, and realize that so much of it is about the art; I don't think I got that before.
When I was 15, I never thought I'd live to see 21. And then I became 21, and I'm like, 'I'll never live to see 30.'
calculated create musician order please songwriter style trained
I'm not really calculated enough or trained enough as a musician or songwriter to create a style in order to please people. Ultimately, I just have to do what I like to do.
I don't think you would want to see all five Go-Go's naked - I think we would be scary.
based love preference
The whole idea that someone should not be able to marry who they love based on their gender and their preference is ridiculous.
burnt god hit urban
I did the co-writing thing all through the '90s and I got one hit out of it - a Keith Urban song called 'But For The Grace Of God' - but then I got burnt out.
believe blown joys stop totally
Believe me, I've totally blown any kind of so-called reputation I may have had. I really don't care. I think that's one of the joys of getting older; you just stop caring about things like that.
biggest dramatic lyrics overly relationship romantic served single turn
I was a very romantic, overly dramatic young lady, which served me well as a songwriter. Especially as someone who had to focus on lyrics and melody, because if you're a dramatic and romantic person, lyrics come easy, and you turn every single short-term relationship into the biggest 'Romeo-and-Juliet' story ever.
