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

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!

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.

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

Then all of a sudden, Quentin Tarantino comes along and puts a song from 40 years ago in one of his films and they've suddenly discovered you. That was a real gift that Quentin gave me.
