I don't think it's good to be sentimental, so I try not to be.

Yeah, the industry has always been both the enemy and the best friend of the artist. They need each other. That's the bottom line.

When I was 16, the pot weeded out the men from the boys, there were the heads and the straights. Now it's almost like money can weed it out, you know?

You know, when you're 23 and you get pissed, I mean drunk, you can just go crazy and it's all right. But if you're 43 and you do it, it's like your best friend's mother who used to come in pissed and everybody was really embarrassed. It just doesn't go down well, you know, after a certain age.

Remember those black-and-white films with Frank Sinatra? Those guys looked like men and they were only 27! Listen to Otis Redding singing 'Try A Little Tenderness'. That was a man who understood what a man has to know in the world. Show me a real man now! Where are they?

I don't believe there is any justifiable reason for killing any animal unless perhaps if it's killing you! That would be negotiable.

I was a single mom with two kids. What else was I going to do? It was either be in a band or be a waitress.
