I suffered fools so gladly.
Go down where all life begins, go down that's where my love is.
Do I have to change my name, will it get me far? Should I lose some weight, am I gonna be a star?
My father was very strict with me, and I kept seeing a disparity between their freedom and my lack of it, or how I had all the responsibilities and they had none. And the Catholic Church, all of the rules, and why did I have to wear a dress when they could wear pants? I would say to my dad: 'Will Jesus love me less if I wear pants? Am I going to hell?'
I don't want no lies, I don't watch TV. I don't waste my time, won't read a magazine.
It takes more strength to cry, admit defeat. I have truth on my side, you only have deceit.
We are living in a material world and I'm a material girl.
Everyone has a self-destructive nature in them. It's whether you feed it or not. You don't have to be a pop star to feel connected to destruction or self-destruction. But self-destruction is self-obsession, and self-obsession is not really possible if you're engaged in raising children. And if you have a spiritual life, you're constantly being asked to see yourself as one small fragment in the bigger picture.
My mother died when I was five, and all I did was sit and cry. I cried and cried and cried all day, until the neighbors went away.
Music.... makes the people..... come together......
Everybody in our family studied a musical instrument. My father was really big on that. Somehow I only took a year or two of piano lessons and I convinced my father to let me take dancing lessons.
There's no law that says that you cannot be a spiritual person and a sexual person. In fact, if you have the right consciousness, sex is like a prayer. It can be a divine experience. So why do they have to be disassociated with one another?
Why did God create men? Because vibrators can't mow the lawn.
When my world seems to crumble all around, and foolish people try to bring me down, I just think of your smile face, and I'm flying.
