Improvising things is always changing. A lot of momentum.

Actually, there was another band where we were three girls, around '84 when I met John Zorn, called Sunset Chorus. It was just bass and drums and guitar- we didn't make any records but we played a lot of different clubs in New York.

I always wanted to get out of Tokyo and in 1977, New York seemed like the most interesting place to visit. I didn't intend to live here- I just wanted to get out and see what was happening. I just happened to stay here then.

I've always wanted to do a lot of things.

I had a lot of resistance, and not just to fame. I was always conscious of not changing.

A lot of that momentum comes from the fact that Linux is free.
