Quotes
"A kid named Joey lived across the street from me once, and he`d push snow in my face before school. I could never do anything about it, because I was a girl and real small. But after about a week, I got real pissed off. So I had two friends hold him on a slide. Then I punched his teeth out."
"Most chick-singers say `If you hurt me, I`ll die`...I say, if you hurt me, I`ll kick your ass."
