I would much rather watch myself than listen to myself. The moving is second nature, but the listening... that's the art.

Without passion, the powers-that-be can run roughshod over you.

I sold my soul to rock 'n' roll.

All these children [who did not have music and art classes at school] go out into the world without knowing that there is anything other than what they have. Of course, children do look at TV, but what does it give them?

Sometimes you have to make your own opportunities, and that's why I'm on TV. I wasn't going to sit around anymore, waiting for the damn phone to ring. I had to create my own place - I've always done that.

Cats always seem so very wise, when staring with their half-closed eyes. Can they be thinking, I'll be nice, and maybe she will feed me twice?

I hope to keep entertaining in some way until I can't physically entertain any longer. It's what I was born to do, and I love this profession.
