My Biggest Dream From The Beginning -

I Refuse To Accept Pluto's Resignation As A Planet.

The First Real Concert, Other Than Going With My Dad To See Three Dog Night, Was Smashing Pumpkins And Garbage. I Was Fourteen Or Fifteen. I Liked Shirley Manson Because She Reminded Me Of Annie Lennox. They Both Have These Deep, Sexy, Powerful Alto Voices.

I Was Always A Drama Queen. I Remember Playing In The Kitchen, Trying To Get My Mom To Think I Was Dead And Call The Police. When She Didn't, I Would Cry. I Was Always Theatrical. I Don't Think Any Of My Relatives Are Surprised.

I Never Really Did Abandon My True Self. It's Not Like I Invented This Imaginary Person And Started To Be Her.

My Darlings, If I Can't Write Dark, Epic Music, I Can't Live!
