What a model of an artist was for me was an artist who worked. Picasso was the ultimate model, because the work ethic he had.

What I really like is an intelligent review. It doesn't have to be positive. A review that has some kind of insight, and sometimes people say something that's startling or is so poignant.

Rock n' roll is dream soup, what's your brand?

If I have any regrets, I could say that I'm sorry I wasn't a better writer or a better singer.

I'm not really a nostalgic person.

Then I read Little Women, and of course, like a lot of really young girls, I was very taken with Jo - Jo being the writer and the misfit.

I had a really happy childhood - my siblings were great, my mother was very fanciful, and I loved to read. But there was always financial strife.
