Singing is the love of my life, but I was ready to give it all up because I couldn't handle people talking about how fat I was.
I remember once Prince dropped by to see me when I was in Minneapolis and I was sick, with a bag of cough drops and a spoon of cough medicine. I said to him, "Hey, can I have another spoon of that? It's just over the counter," and he'd go, "No, I didn't come here to start up new drug addictions for you." And I was like, "C'mon, give me that bottle!" He was very watchful over me.
There is always magic to be summoned at any point. I love to live in a world of magic, but not a fake world of magic. We all really basically have a lot of magic... It’s only those of us who choose to accept it, that really understand it. It’s there for everyone. That’s the only thing that I feel I am able to give to people and that’s why I know that they respond to me because I try to give them only their own magic... not mine, but theirs
I look around at all the girl singers, and I think they're all my children... and they're all going to do this... And, yes, maybe I inspired them because I did get through a lot, and I did have the same problems that they're going to have. You do have to give up a lot for it.
If we can get back to the great singer/songwriters, music will just improve overnight.
Well, if the earthquake happens, I've got my steel-toed shoes and some rope, and we'll get down a mountain.
It's like having a big sister around who's been able to show me some things about myself and about life and about this crazy sort of career thing,
Prince and I were just friends. I think he would have been happy to have had a relationship.
He and I were about as compatible as a rat and a boa constrictor.
Everything on this record is what I really wanted to say, and I'm back to being the poet I always thought I was.
All my feather stuff is in L.A. at a temperature-controlled stage-storage place. I keep all my good stuff there because if I had it all in my house, I wouldn't have any room for my regular clothes. It has to, like, not live here.
The truly incredible thing is we're realizing that you can perform a two-and-a-half-hour gig without being high and still have a fantastic time.
I don't love the years going by. I'd just as soon stay forty-five. But it's OK because I feel a whole lot better than I did at thirty-five.
I want to be age appropriate. I don't want to be that girl you see walking away and she looks 25 and then she turns around and she looks 90.
