You don't want to OD on improvisation.

I think masturbating is a really important function in art. People don't like to hear that kind of stuff, but it's true.

I love my little overgrown yard. And my house is wonderful. It's everything that I need.

I was so involved in my boy-rhythms that I never came to grips with the fact that I was a girl. I was twelve years old when my mother took me inside and said, "You can't be outside wrestling without a T-shirt on." It was a trauma.

All I've ever wanted, since I was a child, was to do something wonderful.

I was always a tomboy as a kid. I always had boyfriends. I was just a regular girl growing up in the late '50s and early '60s, but I was never really attracted to what the girls were attracted to: makeup, my appearance, homemaking.

I wasn't thinking so much of music. I wasnt thinking so much of perfection or stardom or any of that stuff.
