Biographies are hard to write.
I've never once read a biography that has inspired me to delve into someone's work. And then, if I'm inspired enough, I can kick the door right on through. So it is with some ambivalence that I share a bit of insight into myself with this one. I come from a fiery, combative, fiercely competetive, large family. I learned to drink at an all-girl Catholic school and later found redemption in the Los Angeles music scene while attending Hollywood High School.
