When you say you grew up in Los Angeles, a lot of people think the west side: they think the glitz and all this stuff that I actually had no relationship to growing up.

My brother has endless footage of us as kids because he had a video camera when we were growing up. The trippiest part was my younger self predicting my future path, like a truth-seer.

My first tour I did was The Warped Tour, and I was likening myself to the bearded lady at the circus because not only was I an actor touring, doing rock n' roll, but I was also a female front person making really muscular, male-dominated rock music.

I'm all for natural solutions. I'm for eastern philosophies. Yoga is a good one.

My mom is a science teacher in high school, and one of my brothers works in optics at Bell Labs, and so I was always surrounded by it.

I find it greatly disturbing that the Bush administration has used political and religious ideologies to influence national policy on science and medicine.

There is no question that Taiwan is a state in any political science definition of a state.

I have a particular relationship with Vinod Khosla because he's got a lot of very interesting science-based energy startups.
