I used to think when I was in the Go-Go's that we were as wild as any of the boy bands.
The Go-Go's were like my first babies.
If I was in charge, I'd keep doing The Go-Go's forever, but it's a band, so everyone has their say.
The whole punk scene is, of course, responsible for the Go-Go's ever getting created. Because before punk rock happened, you couldn't start a band if you didn't know how to play an instrument. But when punk happened it was like, 'Oh, it doesn't matter if you can play or not. Go ahead, make a band.' And that's exactly what the Go-Go's did.
I love being a Go-Go. It definitely has its ups and downs, and we have a very intense energy with each other.
I don't think you would want to see all five Go-Go's naked - I think we would be scary.
I grew up listening to pop; I grew up listening to '60s pop music, the Beatles, the Monkees, Herman's Hermits and all that stuff. So I had a very strong background of listening to great pop music.
I find acting slightly nerve racking, but I like the challenge.
I try to make everything I write a little bit different. Those songs that go, 'I love you so much and you love me,' they're boring. If I'm going to write a love song, it's going to be a little bit tortuous.
I was a very romantic, overly dramatic young lady, which served me well as a songwriter. Especially as someone who had to focus on lyrics and melody, because if you're a dramatic and romantic person, lyrics come easy, and you turn every single short-term relationship into the biggest 'Romeo-and-Juliet' story ever.
