I think it's important for people to realize that we were all young, all naive, and also we had lived in a time that had magic.

The new artists coming through were very materialistic and Hollywood, not so engaged in communication.

I actually had another motivation for letting Steven [Sebring] film us. After I'd been out of the public eye for 16 years, lost my friends and lost my husband, some of my confidence had been undermined. Steven made the process of filming fun; I could pretend that we were in something like Don't Look Back.

I don't know about that. I'm not a very analytical person. I have various impulses. I've often quoted Walt Whitman's phrase "I contain multitudes." I understand that.

Within that moment was trust, compassion, and our mutual sense of irony. He was carrying death within him and I was carrying life. We were both aware of that, I know.

I was so unhealthy as a child, and at least three or four times my parents were told to get ready, that I would not make it.

Punk rock is just another word for freedom.
