I'm like a one-woman protest machine.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

Politics are always involved, even in my love songs.
