What my true addiction is is reading. I love to read. If I'd get too loaded, I couldn't remember the sentence I just read.

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.

People have often written about me, that I did this for this reason and that for that reason, and theyre usually 98 percent wrong.

If you don't have story to tell the public at large - you have to be able to sort of go listen.

Don't know much, but I know I love you.

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

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