Posted December 4, 200717 yr

Her thread got lost during the crash so I thought I re-do it!

I love her personal style. And there are few else who are a great actress as well as a great rock singer. Have two releases from her band and really like them!!

Personal Quotes

"Fame can be just so annoying because people are so critical of you. You can't just say 'hi'. You say hi and people whisper 'Man, did you see the way she said Hi. What an attitude.'"

"Just 'cause I'm in the same age bracket as Johnny Depp and Leo Dicaprio doesn't mean we all screw together."

"Just to buck the system in California, I bought a Mazda for $6,000 when I was 15 without even bothering to get a license."
