Before I became famous I had a very full life, and that gave me a lot to pick from. I always use everything. It always comes in handy. Working with animals... Well, I just enjoyed that. That was the most peaceful time.

I wanna go south and get some more. Hey, they say that a stitch in time saves nine, they say I better stop or I'll go blind.

The '80s was a really creative and brave period. Remember, it was a period of ultraconservatism, and so you needed brave people to push ahead like that.

When you become famous, they don't give you a handbook.

In the darkest place, shed the brightest light.

If you think you're hearing something and you can't think what it is. If you feel a quiet longing lift your heart into the wind. There you'll find my kindred spirit. There you'll meet me as a friend. It is just a kindred spirit and a song to let you in.

Somebody did complain to me and tell me that my clothes were so loud they couldn't hear me sing.
