I'm never, never sure which way to go. I'm full of unsureness. That's been a habit for years. I never really want to commit.

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.

I've made a contribution to my time and my generation through being myself, not through what I shared with the Rolling Stones. It's very bad for me and very dangerous to see myself as someone who had an influence on this song or that song. It immediately puts me in the position where my worth is dependent on how much of my soul I shared with Mick Jagger, and it's just not valid. You can use the gossip you've heard. You're not getting it from me.

For some people, marriage may be very groovy. For me, it really isn't. I don't think it really is for most people anyway. Most people are not very happy.

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

My first job was singing at the Hammersmith Odeon. It was years ago, so I can't remember who I was performing with. I was a sort of anti-climax after two hours of heavy rock-'n'-roll. Seventeen years old in a white dress. It was the first time that I got applause. Wonderful, that noise in my ears.

I think you have to really, really want to be a film star.
