I'm not really a nostalgic person.

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

The only parts I like out of any of those women books is the dirty parts. But I don't think their dirty parts are any good, really.

Those were the things on my mind [stay healthy, take care of my kids and reestablish a relationship with the people], not career, money, drugs, sex, alcohol or fun. Not that there's anything wrong with any of those things, but they aren't in the film [Dream of Life], because that wasn't my life at the time.

Besides me wanting to be an artist, I wanted to be a movie star.

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

I like energy. I like to feel it cracklin', I like sexual energy in a room, and I like tension.
