Good leaders are scarce; so I'm following myself.
I had a great childhood, a very close-knit family. We were all overweight, and we had good times eating together, I imagine.
When my parents died they both were 47, and they died of complications of different diseases; one being diabetes.
I also have a degree in marriage, family and child counseling - I'm a therapist.
The way to deal with the devil of obesity and diabetes is literally one day at a time.
I didn't get a Bachelor's degree - I got a Bachelor's of Fine Arts, which means I didn't have to take humanities, math, and stuff like that. I think I had to take Art History, which I failed a few times.
Like most severely overweight people, I had to hit a rock-hard bottom before I'd take responsibility for the consequences of neglecting my own health.
We haven't started playing it live yet but we're going to. And then 'Warpaint' is a song that's really, really close to me because it's actually - we've had that song for many years now and it's changed so many times, it's been through every reincarnation of our band with every drummer, with sometimes with me playing drums, it was when we were a three-piece, every incarnation of the band that we've had we have played that song.
I'm almost like three people. There's me the, Dolly, the person. There's me, the star. And then there's me, the manager.
I've been shot down so many times, I get altitude sickness just from standing up for myself.
I feel as though whenever I create something, my Mr. Hyde wakes up in the middle of the night and starts thrashing it. I sometimes love it the next morning, but other times it is an abomination.
