We see people from 6 to 60 years old at the shows.

Heart had originally relocated to Vancouver because Mike evaded the draft to protest the Vietnam war. We had to deal with a lot at that time - it was a tough period for the band.

Music changes kids, and kids change the world.

Unfortunately, the music programs are being stripped out of the schools these days. We have to change that.

In the case of Roadcase Royale, everyone in the band has a lot to offer as a writer and producer.

I have a Gibson Thinline that I designed the body shape of, which I used a lot on the 'Fanatic' album that I'm going to shake out.

'Barracuda' is very fun to play because it's like a galloping steed of a rock song.

I think what constitutes rock nowadays is people that actually play and sing. They can do the job live with no ProTools or embellishments or other recorded material.

I just think it's good to have a big, living, breathing piece of music that's not just songs.

We always wanted to do a children's book of some form or another.

I think it's important to be kind of brutally honest without making anyone else feel bad in any way, if possible.

They're hard to come by, good producers.

As far as havin' someone to talk to on the road, for instance, who's not a guy - it's saved my life many times to have Ann in the same group.

We didn't want to be the girlfriends of the Beatles. We wanted to be the Beatles.

You need to know how to play live. The ones who can do that are the ones you'll see around for a long time.

We don't really intentionally try to sound like ourselves. I think that would be overthinking.

There were not very many girls in rock n' roll together with men that had a heavy rock sound as well as a more acoustic sound like Heart.

We struck out on our own in suburbia with parents who actually helped us get where we needed to go.

Being taken seriously was always the biggest challenge.

When we're home, we like to cook and be together and do mom things when we can.

People started to ask me, 'Do you really play guitar?' They thought it was a prop. It was just interesting, because of all the imaging stuff.

We see what music can do for people. Hell, we see what music does for us! When you see thousands of people out in front of you, it's fixing their lives. It's helping. It's healing. It's bigger than the inconvenience of jealousy or emotional storm clouds.

There is a definite sound with all-girl bands, a good rudimentary sound, and that's what's cool and punk about all-girl bands that you still find, largely - it's really kind of primal.

We've always been more... weird compared to most bands, girls or no.

Heart is fun for the whole family!

Grace Slick was a total trip to work with. Lots of jokes and opinions. A strident individual and super talented!

'Say Hello' was inspired by optimism.

When you're 12, you have no gauge for what's hip or not hip - or even who you are.

I've always been a little bit in the background as a singer and even as an acoustic-guitar player, although I crank it up and rock with my Marshall stacks, too.

It is nice to be an American and to be able to have an opinion.

In our band, we had such an interesting democracy, and it worked really well.

As a songwriter, simplicity - what not to do, what not to play - can be the hardest thing to achieve.

Most of our great influences were male rockers, like Led Zeppelin.

Harmony singing is my favorite thing to do in music!

I love singing, and whenever I can sing some more vocal leads, I always covet the chance.

I'll work my butt off to do something well.

I think if there's a support system in place, and you're acting adult-to-adult with a sense of unconditional love and forgiveness, only good things will come from any relationship between men and women.

The '80s was an interesting, confining time for songwriters, so we were just sort of riffing in our own language, off to the side.

A lot of times, women are pigeonholed.

When things get heated, you are pulled in different directions, and you've to stand firm.

'Bigg Boss' changed my view of the world. Before I joined the show as its host, I was living in a bubble. I believed the real world is a happy place. 'Bigg Boss' made me realise that the world is made of all kinds of people, including some judgmental ones. It has introduced me to the real world.

Everyone has a 'Majnu' in them. It's not about the sad or happy climax. It's a term we use to define someone who falls in love and faces problems.

I thought I could handle 'Nenu Local' well and make the romance seem cute than annoying, and going by some of the feedback, I think I managed it.

It's easy to play a character who is suffering with a disease or has a psychological problem. 'Gentleman' is completely opposite. There are both positives and negatives in the role, and it is the most challenging role I have done so far.

I come from a large family, with 16 cousins. My cousins studied well and moved to the U.S. When we all gathered together for special occasions, they would be well groomed and confident. I was the odd, useless one out. All I wanted was to be able to earn without my dad's help and be self-sufficient enough to own a house and a vehicle.

Sometimes we postpone releases because of another big film or some other reasons. In the end, the big film, too, postpones, and the impact is on the small films. So once you decide on a release date, you have to go ahead with it.

I am a big fan of A.R. Rahman and Mani Sharma, and I went to a shop to buy these music directors' CD. But I had only Rs 100, and Rahman's CD cost more, so I couldn't buy both. So I bought Rahman's CD and stole Mani Sharma's CD.

Since childhood, I've never been a morning person. I need something exciting, out of my comfort zone, to get out of bed.

I took up Tamil films because I'm a big fan of Mani Ratnam. I thought maybe he'll notice me if I act in a Tamil film.

I wish that I will get to work with Gopi Sundar again and again.
