Being The First Is Kind Of Dirty,

Well, I'll Tell You, I Don't Know How Aware Teenagers Are Of Me. I Think It Really Depends On The Teenager And How Well-versed In Music They Are And What Kind Of Music They Like.

As A Kid, In The Runaways, I Would See The Interviewers Start To Ask About Our Personal Lives And What We Did — And I Could See The Look In Their Eyes. They Were Practically Frothing At The Mouth. So If I Answered These Questions, I Knew They Were Never Gonna Talk About The Music. It Was Like That Instinct — Don’t Go There, Man. Have Boundaries. Have Mystery. You Don’t Have To Let Everybody In! I Want To Be Singing To Everybody, And I Want Everybody To Think That I’m Singing To Them. Guys, Girls And Everyone In Between.

A Lot Of The Songs I've Recorded Are Songs I Write.

The Follow Your Dreams Thing Is Really Important Because So Many People Are Railroaded Into Taking Other Paths By Their Family, Their Friends, People Who Should Be Supportive Going, 'what Are You Talking About?' Even Just Seemingly Regular Career Paths, But If It's Not What People Expect For You They Kind Of React Funny.

I Plan To Stay In Music. I Plan To Keep Making Records.
