I knew Queen Elizabeth didn't do any laundry! I knew I wasn't going to be doing laundry. I was going to be singing.

I don't have good business sense. You never get much money for the arts. But I like independence. I like to grow.

On my darkest days, I wear my brightest colors.

Music, in its higher state, for me, is worth living and dying for. It's worth traipsing around the globe, it's worth the accolades and the other side of the accolades...I always have sung to the angels and the higher parts of people's souls.

There's ageism in everything. I don't give a hoot. It isn't what other people think; it's what you think. But it's hard to come to terms with getting older. I admire people like Vivienne Westwood.

If you can't go one way, there's many ways to get where you're going. So you just take a step back and see beyond the wall.

Goonies are good enough, good enough for me
