I don't care who's playing. Even if it's my favorite artist, I'm probably not gonna go and see him.

My mother used to play nothing but Billie Holiday.

Most of the songs I sing have that blues feeling in it. They have that sorry feeling. And I don't know what I'm sorry about. I don't.

See, I don't like places where people can't dance - don't like clubs or theatres where a bunch of bourgeois people sit around tip, tip, tipping their fingers.

I'm not starry eyed, and I'm not money crazy.

I was originally like a punker, know what I mean, like the punks are today, I'd spit in a minute.

I've gone through so much in my life. I should have been dead a long time ago, but I am still here, and I'm the happiest I've ever been.
