I was singing about six notes higher than I had to, in a range that kept me up in a bubblegum sound.

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

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

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.

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

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