I gave guitar lessons. I tried to join bands. My mom always said it was obvious that nothing was going to stop me.

I tried when I was 13, when my grandparents gave me an acoustic guitar, and I tried for a year. It hurt so much to play. I mean, the fingertips hurt so much, I gave up.

I tried to connect my singing voice to my guitar an' my guitar to my singing voice. Like the two was talking to one another.

I'm not keen on cars and motorbikes. I tried to be a biker, but it wasn't me - I bought a Harley-Davidson and dumped it.

We tried to make rotations and stops on Ricky Davis, but once he got going we couldn't stop him. We played a decent first half, but just didn't bring it in the second half. In fact, it was just the exact opposite. We didn't play with any effort.

That's the Elektra I tried to portray: one that's always in the grey. She is a tortured soul.
