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

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

But, you know, the Stones were my opening act in the Sixties. I loved those British guys, the way they just stood there and shook their hair.

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

Stage performing is a dying art form.

I love my songs, let's not get crazy here.

I look around me and I don’t see any rock’n’roll at the moment. Instead it’s all choreography and stylists and wigs and stuff. It’s like they’re afraid to let the music breathe. No one has their own identity like the Ronettes did back in the day. We had the skirts with the slits up the side, sort of tough, sort of Spanish Harlem cool, but sweet too. We didn’t have no dancers, we didn’t have no goddamn wigs.
