Women's courage is rather different from men's. The fact that women have to bring up children and look after husbands makes them braver at facing long-term issues such as illness. Men are more immediately courageous. Lots of people are brave in battle.

One of the great bands we opened up for was Priest back in '89. That was really great because at that time we had never met them never toured with them before. They were a big influence on Slayer so to open up for them was really cool.

Even as a kid if I would come across something cool in the record store that would be how I found out about bands. It's kind of the same way these days. In a way even less because there are no record stores to go to anymore.

All the bands get along really well. That's one of the biggest things on a tour. It's great to get all these cool bands together but if they don't get along it sucks.

When certain bootleg companies started off and they would take maybe ten per cent of whatever they got and help fuel new bands which I'm cool with I think that's a good idea. Most of the record companies are not doing that.

I think it's really cool but Jimmy Eat World and Gin Blossoms did it better than anyone. People don't realize just how awesome the Arizona history is especially for alternative music. Growing up that's all I ever wanted to be was those two bands.

Well... I had braces and I had to wear headgear! I loved my braces actually. For me they were like a piece of jewelry! Instead of the silver or pewter I had gold braces. It was so much fun I loved them. I got to change the colors and stuff and I had the rubber bands.

You know who is against democracy in the Middle East? The husbands. They got used to their way of life. Now the traditional way of life must change. Everybody must change. If you don't give equal rights to women you can't progress.

Ah! how annoying that the law doesn't allow a woman to change husbands just as one does shirts.

The movie business is very difficult but the music business is just impossible. So I'll play in bands and record and play songs with other people but for me it's a form of expression that all I need is me. I don't need cameras or agents I can just have a piano and sing and feel totally verified.
