I didn't just want to be Frank's daughter who sang Boots. I take my music very seriously and studied very hard. It's not a joke to me.

Morrissey wrote to me and said, I have a song for you and if we release it as a single, you'll be on the charts for the first time since 1972, I said, what time, where?

I wasn't accepted because I didn't accept the drug culture that most of my peers were involved in. Now it's like a locked room.

I got married and basically forgot about Elvis. Then Speedway came. That was the most fun of all, to see him every day all those weeks.

I was a star in Italy, Austrailia, Germany and Japan before the American stations ever paid attention at all.

After 50, the rock 'n' roll road is a little absurd. It's very difficult to play these little places. You're out there on a rickety old bus with no place to shower.

I was successful with mediocre material because of a good recording voice that people really liked at that time.
