I always felt that I was one of the women who helped lay the foundation for rock and roll. But I'd always been overlooked by the Hall of Fame.

I still sing because I love the sound of applause, because it's who I am, and because I still can.

I didnt really have an agenda for my talent. I just wanted to be able to sing.

John Lennon was very irreverent and very intelligent.

The Beatles were raw musically, but I think they really had something.

I've spent an awful lot of my time in the air. I've had everything happen to me in a plane that could happen. Except a crash.

The amazing thing is that I'm sane. I'm not bitter. I'm not drugged out. I'm not broke. I'm still married to the same guy. My children don't hate me.
