I have a lot of regrets, but I'm not going to think of them as regrets.

Capote wrote every day. He said that's the only way, you have to sit down every day and do it.

If I were to do a foundation, it would be to promote solar energy. And I'm worried about drilling for oil. I think it is harming the earth, 'cos it drains the layer of oil under the surface, and that could be causing earthquakes. It's like we're giving the earth arthritis. I don't know if that sounds crazy.

How can one be a woman and not be a feminist? That's my question.

I don't think that the punk sound really became the punk sound until much later. The punk era wasn't really just one musical sound. There are a lot of differences among Television, the Ramones, and the Talking Heads.

I do know the effect that music still has on me - I'm completely vulnerable to it. I'm seduced by it.

I don't really memorize every little thing I have to do because then I start to think about it too much! I like to keep it in the here and now and not what's coming up.
