I wish I had as much in bed as I get in the newspapers.

Cocaine made people deaf, it made people dead and it made people real obnoxious.

I just thought that I was going to get to sing for a living and I wouldn't have to go to work in the department store or whatever else you did if you were a woman in those days.

I can sing better after shooting smack in both arms than after eating too much.

Ninety-nine percent of singing is listening and hearing, and so then 1 percent of it is singing.

I'm a chameleon. I can change my voice a lot. I always was able to, because in my family's music I was a harmony singer, and harmony singing is really hard.

Cocaine made my nose bleed right away. I thought why do I need a nose bleed? It would make me real nervous and talk really fast. I'm already pretty good at talking too fast. I thought, "Why do I need that?"
