Life is a dream even in its most painful moments, it's a dream that we can dance to.

You know, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1997 I realized I had spent too long arranging my attitude.

My look was even more solidified when I started singing in Greenwich Village with my sister Lucy. We wore matching dresses as the Simon Sisters.

So I suppose this slightly mature fashion sense happened because of what I had.

Do you know how many concerts I've done in my whole life, in more than 35 years of performing? Sixty-four.

I haven't got time for the pain.

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.
