I shoot my big mouth off; it just pops up! I have to learn to edit myself.

I've got quite a good brain and all that, which I've never had to use in singing at all.

The only time I ever really consider retiring is when I get fed up with the press. Which is often.

My story is really an affirmation of my strength and my luck. To live with a great artist like Ted Hughes or Mick Jagger is a very, very destructive role for a woman trying to be herself. In fact, it can't be done.

Penitentiary songs have been a love of mine for years. They are so wonderful.

I don't like the compression on compact discs. It's lacking in air, and it's lacking in majesty.

It's always a good idea to get yourself a famous, rich, and groovy young man. That's one of the best-known methods of furthering your career.
