I was very strongly influenced by women's magazines and I really believed tha a woman could not be married and raise a family and have a successful career all at the same time.
I like music to soothe me.
Please don't ask me any questions about the politics of 30 years ago.
Sometimes it seems like you and me against the world.
To this day I get mail from women who say, I went to law school because of your song. But I would hate to think out of the wide spectrum of things I have done in my career, that's all I would be remembered for.
Stopping at her house is a neighbor boy with evil on his mind, cause he's been peeking in Angie's room at night through her window blind.
I'm still an embryo with a long long way to go.
I had a career for 25 years in Australia before I ever came to the United States.
I'm a very private person, and when I leave the stage, I leave the stage.
In the '50s, a lot of girls never saw beyond the wedding day.
It took so long to make it in America. The year I arrived was a bad year for women singers, the record company told me. So I starved. I lived in a hotel so dreadful I can't even talk about it.
My audience is the baby-boomers, the bulk of the population. This is also a group that is being ignored by most record companies because they're not the Top 40 hit singles market. They forget these people still listen to music.
The most exciting thing about women's liberation is that this century will be able to take advantage of talent and potential genius that have been wasted because of taboos.
Yoga is wonderful. It clears up most health problems. It also gives you an overview.
