chat england tv
Then my own TV chat show in England in 1989.
Inside, I feel 30ish - I'm childish and optimistic.
music refused
I refused to wear make-up on TV. I wanted my music to be heard.

I have record approximately 10 studio albums. I had 16 top ten singles and sold in excess of 45 million records all over the world.
anyone definitely lady obviously sit talked time
I haven't talked to any young artists for a long time. But if we did sit down, I'd definitely tell them my viewpoint. If it was Lady Gaga, I'd say: 'You're talented, and you've obviously got the goods... what the hell are you doing with your image? How can anyone take you serious?'
high scene school ugly
I just couldn't get into the high school scene at all. I was fat, ugly and weird. I just couldn't do the makeup and the hairdos.
anybody beat boys female model played role tells
I never wanted to model myself on a female singer, which tells you a lot about my character. I didn't have a female role model. There just wasn't anybody around. I played with the boys and beat them at their own game.
good high keeps money score scrabble trying
I'm a Scrabble nut, and I need something to do while I'm travelling. Scrabble keeps me occupied, I play against myself. I have a high score of 718 that I'm always trying to beat. I'm a good player. You don't want to play me for money, that's for sure.
break male matter maybe took
I don't really think about male and female; if something's right for me, it's right for me, and it doesn't matter what it is - maybe that's what it took for me, a woman, to break down the doors.
change women
I didn't think I was going to change the world for women; I just did what I did. My big thing was that I didn't change who and what I was to become successful. I will not be told what to do; I'm a real independent girl.
crossroads died grow leather life marriage point rest
There comes a crossroads in every marriage where you grow together or grow apart. I outgrew Len. He wanted me to be in that leather jumpsuit for the rest of my life and do nothing else. He constrained me. It got to a point where the marriage died or I did.
picked
When punk picked up black leather, I put it down.
believed
I was a me-ist. I believed in the right to do whatever I wanted to do regardless of gender. Still do.
liked looked mary tight trousers wore
I was inspired by Billie Holliday, and I really liked Mary Weiss of the Shangri-Las because she wore tight trousers and a waistcoat on top - she looked hot.
