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.
Most women would not be happy being me. People say, 'But you're alone.' But I don't feel alone. I feel very un-alone.
I'm the original hunter-down-of-fabulous-things. Twenty years ago I sat down and decided that I would create a really wonderful image, an unforgettable image. And now I'm kind of stuck with it. It's like when I don't wear my fringy, gypsy stuff, people kind of look at me like, 'What's wrong?
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 would have found something because I love to entertain people. I had the option to take the rest of the year off. But I said the songs on my last solo album, 24 Karat Gold, mean so much to me. I need to get out there and sing them.
Most bands people have side projects and it's not considered a death threat as it was say, with The Beatles.
I wouldn't like to be in movies. Movie people are strange. They live a different life than musicians do.
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.
