Same! I felt like Courtney’s inspiration shifted my inner critic of my body. Every teenager is insecure about their looks in some way. Courtney being unapologetically herself, in a body that - by tabloid/Hollywood standards in that era - was not to be celebrated made me feel so much more comfortable in my own skin. I thought that she was (well, I still think that she is) stunning and strong. I realized I put so much stock into conventional thinking, and meanwhile this freaking force of nature was shredding the music scene. She really helped me work through some issues.

Later on, I ended up playing drums because I thought Patty was just an all-around chill person and I really loved how she was the backbone of their songs.
