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.

I love Ruth Brown, not just her singing, but Ruth Brown has more girl power than anyone, because she fought hard against people who ripped her off and then helped other artists through the Rhythm and Blues Foundation.

I never tried to kill myself or anything.

It doesn't pay to try, all the smart girls know why.

My honeymoon night was spent on the floor in the bathroom with my mother.

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