I used to cry myself to sleep every night. I missed singing so much. And performing. Man, I missed it so much.

I mean, Janet Jackson? She's like Michael Jackson with hair.

Kill Rock Stars allowed me to put out a real genuine rock 'n' roll record.

We had the skirts with the slits up the side, sort of tough, sort of Spanish Harlem cool, but sweet too.

I love the fact that 35 years later, I still hear my songs on the radio.

The people need to feel the music. That's what's so important, and that's what is missing. You have to let the audience feel you, you have to let them feel the love, feel the rock 'n' roll, feel the energy.

When I do a concert and people put their hands in the air, they're doing it on their own.
