I was the product of very young parents, and they had wild ways. My mother was in a punk band. Rebelling would have been learning to play piano.

Both my husband and I wanted a boy. I wasn't sure what I'd do with a daughter. What if she asked for a Barbie? I would have been like, 'Honey, we don't support Barbie because she isn't an accurate depiction of a woman's body.'

My parents had been involved in the labor movement; if we'd grown up in the city, we would have been red-diaper babies.

My mother and I split ways when I was very young and have never really reconciled.

So my parents, particularly my mother, she noticed that I seemed to be interested, so on my seventh birthday my parents got me a piano.

I would definitely say the Oakland Raiders are the punk rock band of football.
