An artist needs a certain amount of turmoil and confusion.

In a pure anonymous encounter you find a world alive and full of character. In New York, the street adventures are incredible. There are a thousand stories in a single block. You see the stories in people's faces. You hear the songs immediately. Here, in Los Angeles, there are fewer characters because they are all inside automobiles.

Will you take me as I am? Strung out on another man...California, I'm comin' home.

I certainly don't want to be an angry old artist.

Some turn to Jesus and some turn to heroin.

I am a woman of heart and mind, looking for affection and respect, a little passion.

The land of litigation, the courts are like game shows. Take what's behind the curtain the jury cries.
