Quotes:
- "I started discovering real rock 'n' roll music in the past few years. Also, working with people like Nikki Sixx -- just hanging out with them -- really encouraged me to develop that sound. A few bad relationships made the lyrics quite angry. That always helps."
- "If you want to be a real rock 'n' roller you want to be sexy. Guys in rock 'n' roll bands are sexy, so why shouldn't the girls be? Just because a girl can sing and rock, she doesn't need to have a short haircut and wear a turtleneck." Marion Raven Image : en.wikipedia.org
