We All Make Judgments On People, But Some Are Much More Brutal Than Others. It's Easy To Say, 'ya Know, I'm Not Crazy About What She's Wearing,' But You Don't Have To Be Nasty About It, And You Don't Have To Be Public About It.

If You're Secure In Yourself, And Even If You're Not Secure In Yourself, You Don't Need To Bully.

I Remember Thinking That Janis Joplin Sang Like Mae West Talked. When I First Heard The Primal Scream In 'piece Of My Heart,' I Was Hooked. 'cheap Thrills,' Janis 'live' With Big Brother And The Holding Company, Was One Of My All Time Faves. During The 'whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa's' In 'combination Of Two,' I Couldn't Help But Go To The Mirror And Pretend I Was A Wild Woman Like Janis, In A Rock Band.

I Think The Media Has Got Into This Enquirer Mentality. Years Ago, Legitimate Press Didn't Really Concern Itself With Sordid Details Of People's Personal Lives. That Wasn't The Focus. But Also A Lot Of Celebrities Were Bullied Into Revealing This Breakup Or Tragedy Or Divorce Or Problem. They Started To Talk About It And The Press Just Started To Talk About People's Private Lives. That Just Seems To Be The Norm.

Women Are Still Second-class Citizens.
