Patty was like a chosen geek, - courtney 1995

Patty put a lot of time into (Celebrity Skin) and put a lot of drum tracks down. Some were usable and some weren't, I guess, in the eyes of the producer. But Patty wrote all the drum parts. We did three months of pre-production with her, and some of those songs were years old. So she was the creative force behind the drums. That's for sure. She's a wonderful friend, but we've kind of gone in different directions." -Melissa on Patty, her playing on Celebrity Skin, and her recent departure.

"Courtney: Have you ever seen "The Breakfast Club"? Well, [pointing to Melissa] there's Molly...

Melissa: Oh, I'm like sooo popular.

Eric: I'm a little bit between.

Courtney: I'm a combination of Ally Sheedy *and* Judd Nelson."
