I wish I had appreciated my youth - I should have worn tighter clothing when I could have!

It's funny, I remember doing the Johnny Carson show, and, uh, I couldn't afford my rent.

I can't remove the autobiographical slant from the things I write. You always bring yourself into what you're writing.

I think I don't invest so much time in thinking about people's sexuality. I just take people as individuals.

When it came time to sequence the album, the new arrangements really demanded a different order. They were so different than they were before that the old sequence didn't work anymore.

I've never sold my publishing. I have 100% control of all of my publishing and that includes everything, every use of my songs.

When I originally wrote "Jealousy," it was more like an exercise to try to write a girl-group kind of pop song. It was really contrary to most of the material I'd ever written. I didn't pay much attention to the song after I'd recorded it. I didn't really perform it at all the last 20 years. When it came time to make the new record, I decided to make peace with the song and have fun with it.
