Stay true to yourself. People respond to authenticity.

The artist as citizen is here to stay.

I like simple things. Elastic waists, so I can eat.

My mother told me I should be a secretary, but I wanted to be an actress from when I was very young.

I also have intense relationships with furniture... probably because we practically had none when I was growing up.

I'd take out a joint and light it. First, just faking it. Then I started lighting live joints, passing them around to the band, you know. I was great, it relieved all my tensions. And I ended up with the greatest supply of grass ever. Other acts up and down the Strip heard about what I was doing - Little Anthony and the Imperials, people like that - and started sending me the best dope in the world. I never ran out.

You have got to discover you, what you do, and trust it.
