I'm a total pleasure seeker. I pursue anything that satisfies me. I usually get it. I have specific needs and I know what they are so I can achieve satisfaction.

If people could understand how much pleasure they could have by themselves, I think everyone would be a lot saner. I think that people really need a dose of quality time with one's self.

I'm like a one-woman protest machine.

I think it's important to encourage gluttony in all its formats.

I'm nihilistic, antagonistic, violent, horrible - but not obliterated, yet. I just refuse to be beaten down. I think it's stubborness that keeps me going.

Think your own thoughts.

Just because my bank account hasn't swelled astronomically I don't consider myself any less of a success.

Women are denied masturbation even more severely than men and that's another method of control-they're not taught to please themselves.... Most women-it takes them a while to warm up to the situation but once they get into it, I'm sure they're going to get just as hooked as-well, everyone I know is!

The need to document my insanity is an affliction I have not yet cured myself of.

I just prefer instrumental. I don't need to hear what other people are singing. And if I need music as a backdrop to work or to think, I need to have that part of the brain clear - I don't need people feeding their fantasies into my vision.

I'm a very sympathetic person, but that doesn't always come across in my work because I'm too busy being mad at everything.

My job is to confront apathy and confront all the forces that tend to batter each of us down with all kind of oppression, even self-oppression. I consider that the main job of the art that I do- to rattle the cage, wake people up, wake myself up, confront all that would conspire to keep us down.

I would be humiliated if I found out that anything I did actually became a commercial success.

The female format is a beautiful one in which to function. Foolhardy as it may be. I change my image all the time, it's whatever suits me at the moment.

Politics are always involved, even in my love songs.

I am a humanist not a feminist. Theres a big difference.
