I grew up not understanding what was true and what was not true. It gave me a sense of unreality. I was told that this man [mom's lover] was not my mother's lover - when he was. I was told he was there as a male babysitter for my brother so that he would learn sports and other manly things.

I just want to show off my scar proudly and not be afraid of it.

You say we'll soar like two birds through the clouds, but soon you'll cage me on your shelf. I'll never learn to be just me, first by myself.

There was a French singer, Francoise Hardy - I used to look at her pictures and try to dress like her.

The models for me were more the folk-rock singers of the '60s and '70s.

I've learned that nobody's perfect, and I don't expect myself to be perfect anymore.

Undoubtedly, Patsy Cline was a trailblazer and in that respect, all women who are singular in a man's field have a special power.
