After they see me, when their mothers are feeding them all that cashmere sweater and girdle ----- [expletive deleted by the New York Times], maybe they'll have a second thought - that they can be themselves and win.

Don't compromise your self, you're all you got.

At my concerts most of the chicks are looking for liberation, they think I'm gonna show 'em how to do it.

It used to make me unhappy, all that feeling. I just didn't know what to do with it. But now I've learned how to make feeling work for me... I don't know, I just want to feel as much as I can, it's what 'soul' is all about.

When everything is together - the band, me, the audience, it's boss! It's just like magic.
