I tried to charm the pants off Bob Dylan, but everyone will be disappointed to learn that I was unsuccessful. I got close - a couple of fast feels in the front seat of a Cadillac.

Through books and photographs, I saw a world that was not my own - and I realized that there was another world.

I read a comment that made me think I should stop singing for a while. And I didn't want to stop singing, because it was the only thing I loved. At first I thought, "Maybe I'll get better and eventually please the person who wrote about my singing." But then I thought, "I probably will never please this person. I should just do what pleases me."

I sold my soul to rock 'n' roll.

I don't like violence. I get sick from violence. Do you think people are excited by violence?

I always try to balance the light with the heavy - a few tears of human spirit in with the sequins and the fringes.

There are bugs and there are the pigeons and other predators, but you shouldn't be afraid of them, because this is how nature works.
