Musically, I would never run dry. Any time I sit down to an instrument, I could write a song.

Do you see how you hurt me, baby? So I hurt you too. Then we both get so blue. I am on a lonely road and I am traveling, looking for the key to set me free.

I like my freedom. I like to do my own grocery shopping.

At the point where I'm trying to force something and it's not happening, and I'm getting frustrated with, say, writing a poem, I can go and pick up the brushes and start painting. At the point where the painting seems to not be going anywhere, I go and pick up the guitar.

Rachmaninoff made a musician out of me. His 'Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini' was the piece that sent me into raptures. It spoke to me. To me, it was a tender entreaty for the misunderstood.

All my battles were with male egos. I’m just looking for equality, not to dominate. But I want to be able to control my vision.

I always thought the women of song don't get along, and I don't know why that is.
