kids player guitar
When I was a kid in Eugene, Oregon, there was this fantastic guitar player who went out on the tables, chairs, out in the audience and played. So I started taking my guitar in the audience. I tripped, fell backwards and ripped my pants.
artist oregon alcohol
When I lived in Seattle and Oregon, we partied, which is a large reason I don't know drugs or alcohol now because I saw the Destruction of so many great musicians and artists.
book play guitar
Whatever it is that you love to do, be it collect comic books or play the guitar, that you can make a living at it, do it.
years next-year twenties
Twenty years from now, I hope I'm consistently in my life, in the zone. I have seen the next year before.
wind wizards gone
My favorite movie is The Wizard of Oz. I love the fairy tale of it. And Gone With the Wind was always one of my favorites because it's so dramatic and stunning.
prayer thinking miracle
I don't think science is totally true, because I've seen miracles happen through prayer.
cymbals sticks teeth
I grabbed my drummer's cymbal in my teeth just as he crashed down on it with his sticks-I blacked out. I was a punk in those days. It was in Seattle. I still have all my teeth too, it's amazing.
I had a very sexual experience onstage once. But I won't go there.
survivor doe quitting
I have a lot of survivor insticts, and I know when to quit. I know when to go forward it my life, but not everybody does.
girl mean writing
I don't mean that to be egotistical, but I'm not writing fluff. I'm not writing for 8-year-olds. I'm a woman and I'm a rock girl.
teacher doors years
I classify myself as a student and a teacher. This year, I'm back into the student. I try to stay balanced. I learn so much every time I walk about my door.
song writing guitar
I can write songs without a guitar.
girl growing-up play
Growing up in the Northwest, I did play in an all-girl band. I snuck into clubs. No one ever questioned or thought twice about it.
who-i-am too-much way
Everything I read about me is what I say. The way I've come across is exactly who I am. So far, they haven't skewed it to be one way or another too much.
