#ban

God forbid that any book should be banned. The practice is as indefensible as infanticide. ↗

To me, the 90's signaled the end of glam rock, the beginning of gangsta rap, and hopefully the beginning and end of boy bands. ↗

A rock'n'roll band needs to be able to get under people's skin. You should be able to clear the room at the drop of a hat. ↗

Actually, I've done it the other way so many times where you rehearse the band and you do the whole thing with lights, the show and the crew - everything. Then you see what happens and you're already committed to dates. I'm just sort of putting out feelers this way. ↗

I'd make a White Stripes record right now. I'd be in the White Stripes for the rest of my life. That band is the most challenging, important, fulfilling thing ever to happen to me. I wish it was still here. It's something I really, really miss. ↗

I have so much music inside me I'm just trying to stay afloat. I don't tend to write for a particular band - you have to just write the songs and then let God into the room and let the music tell you what to do. ↗

You don't want your credibility banana to turn brown, but you do want to speak out about what you believe in. ↗

Even though I had a lucrative contract with MGM, I had a husband who was drinking and gambling our money away faster than I could make it. ↗
