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.

Feminism is the best thing to come out of the '60's.

I never saw myself as beautiful. I can look back and see it now, but then? Never.

I've done everything I want to do and gone everywhere I want to go.

I do have a strong sense of God. It's impossible to explain what I mean when I say that, of course.

My father belonged to a commune, and the food was ghastly. My idea of food hell is the salad cream they'd pour all over bits of lettuce, cucumber and tomato. It was just disgusting.

I am not frightened of much, but I wouldn't like to get ill.
