I don't have a lot of thrilling anecdotes about my career or personal life. All the stuff that is interesting is private and I wouldn't want people to know.

I think I have a really diverse audience. I've had people from all sorts of sexual persuasions.

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

TV holds a close second to cars for destroying our society. It's a failed experiment.

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.

I feel we all have the obligation, myself. I want to live in a more humane, civilized society, and I feel like the only way we're going to achieve that is if we all take it upon ourselves. I just wish we could be a more caring society. I feel like we're social Darwinists who believe that everyone has to make it on their own. But the reality is that we all don't start out on the same footing.

By calling it a memoir, I meant is as a collection of memories. I thought it was (a more) artful (title) than documentary.
