I have never been accepted. I'll never make the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They're never going to let me in.

There are a lot of people who would laugh at the idea of me being a good singer.

Morrissey wrote a really gorgeous song for me. I'm crazy for that man. And he thinks I'm hip!

It would be nice to be on the charts again, nice to be recognised.

The Columbia years are the most sentimental for me. My parents were together through most of that time and we were a happy, sort of normal family.

What happens in the music business is that if you step out of your little spot to do something else, the sand falls right into where you stood and you're gone, you're history.

The one hit song that I have tremendous gratitude for is Boots, because it has a life of its own. It's like being identified with a brand name.
