Mystery is great, that's what art is and I think when you can leave your imagination to grow, it's good. I just don't like it if it's super bad because I'm a loving person, I love everybody and human beings. I do have a darkness to me, but I would never do bad things or wish bad things on people, or hurt anything or anyone.

It can't just be about being sexy. It has to have all the emotions involved, I think, on the album and in the live show. Because if you do all sex, you lose all of the other beautiful things that should be a part of it... And just being sexy will get you nowhere.

You could be the sexiest woman in the world, and if you can't sing, if you're not an artist and you can't create a show, you can't have power in front of a crowd, you're gonna crash and burn.

Like, even in our stage performance, it's vulnerable at certain times, it's sad, it's raging... It's not just about being a sex symbol, or being sexy to appease everyone. I'm not about that.

When I think of myself, I don't think I'm one of the 'hottest chicks in the world.' I have all kinds of insecurities.

Who cares about how many albums you've sold when you have sold out arenas and you're making money?

If people buy into the band, you'll always have tour that sells and you'll always have that diehard base.

I think it's always beautiful to take hate in some form and turn it into something beautiful.

You know, there's so many great bands out there, visual bands, that we have to do something that makes us individual, and makes us stick out from everybody else, and something that is even bigger than just the music.

I want us to have just one of the biggest shows in rock and roll.

I think we push theatrical boundaries.

Some people, they do just go out there and rock, and it's perfect in that way, 'cause that's what's, I guess, natural to them.

We got to play Madison Square Garden before. I mean, that was like a dream. There is something about the lights and the huge arenas that is really special, but nothing can quite compare to those intimate shows where it's sold out, and it's a thousand people.

My mom is a total free-spirited hippie flower child. Always has been.

Well, I don't have a father, so there's no daddy being protective of the daughter.

My mom always supports me in whatever it is that I do, and she loves me.

I don't embrace the yucky stuff.

When you write music that you are very passionate about, being able to bring the visual aspect of it alive with the music is what ties everything together.

My mom was a rock 'n' roll mom.

I had a really young mom. We lived in, basically... the projects.

I guess the men who are meant to be a part of my life won't be intimidated by me and will be stronger. There's a specific breed that won't be afraid.

I love change.

Instead of yelling and screaming or losing myself all the time, I release everything in my music, and that's kind of how I expel my demons, as you would say.

Some people go to the gym and some people have different ways that they express themselves, and I do all mine through my music.
