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.

I can't judge the way other people behave. I can only look at myself.

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.

Everything does go in a circle.

I lucked out when I started to sing. I'd already experienced failing at everything else.

Your own shoes are hard enough to fill, but somebody else's are even tougher.

With fame, I'm able to create more. With every success, you have more freedom to create.
