"There’s a lot of emotional attachment. I think when there is a woman involved, there is more emotion involved...people feel emotional about our band and its magical lineup, Kim Deal especially."

I can scream my brains out, lay out all this pathos, expunge my soul in front of everybody, but they just go, ‘Yeah right, that’s a pretty good trick but where’s Kim Deal?’ I’m just saying."
