People have the power to redeem the work of fools.

I immersed myself in books and rock 'n' roll, the adolescent salvation.

When I started making music, we'd lost a lot of our great people. Rock was moving in a direction I didn't like. Rock was my generation's revolutionary, sexual, poetic, and political voice, but it had become corporatized. It was going into stadiums. It was so far removed from its basic roots.

I'm a worker. I do the work to communicate, and I want people to embrace it, and when they do I'm happy.

I have vague memories, like impressions on glass plates.

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.

Blessedness is within us all.
