I really think I want to live in a lot of places.I don't want possessions to hold me down.

If I do an interview, then I take full responsibility. I figure I'm not going to talk to anyone that I think is unethical anyway.

I want an autobiography without revealing any personal information.

A reporter once asked me if I ever cried. I wonder if people think I'm just as hard as a rock and have no emotions at all.

I have such memories; I keep thinking about all the people I worked with. I was in the recording studio and I was talking to one of the engineers who is 24 and they don't know these people. They just absolutely don't know the people and it just tickles me. I don't feel like I've grown up.

The first time I heard a Billie Holiday record, I thought, 'What's so great about Billie Holiday?'

You can't just sit there and wait for people to give you that golden dream. You've got to get out there and make it happen for yourself.
