I've always allowed myself to go on journeys creatively and emotionally, and never put, like, limits on myself.

When people pay to see you live, they connect with you on a much deeper level than people who just buy your records.

I think people are a little bit intimidated by me. You know, I'm not exactly a wilting flower, so I think they're a little bit scared of me sometimes.

For most of my relationships, I would have liaisons, and I would feel guilty.

In the late '60s and '70s, when feminism was on the up sweep, there was an awareness of things that we're losing again.

I love performing. I love being a provocateur. I love putting myself in situations that are uncomfortable and that I have to get out of.

I'm very much an optimist. I don't think I could do my work if I didn't believe there was some kind of hope for humanity.
