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.

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.

I think Behind the Music is good for people like Leif Garrett and Motley Crue.

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

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.

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

No one has their own identity like the Ronettes did back in the day.
