I can't remember anything I ever wrote.

I hang my laundry on the line when I write.

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

My style of songwriting is influenced by cinema. I'm a frustrated filmmaker. A fan once said to me, 'Girl, you make me see pictures in my head!' and I took that as a great compliment. That's exactly my intention.

When I felt that fame - people were nosing me out - well, I moved on. I used traveling names; wigs if necessary.

Buddy Holly and the early rock 'n' roll was no lighter than the way I play. It's very minimal.

You know, Neil Young is singing Rock n' roll will never die, and Neil never rocked and rolled in his life. I mean, he rocked, but he didn't roll. He has got no swing in him.
