I h a v e a l l t h a t I r e q u e s t e d and I do not want what I haven`t got. I have learned this from my mother ; see how happy she has made me. I will take this road much further though I know not where it takes me.

At some point the entire population of the earth is gonna have to look back at the kind of essence of spirituality which is basically caring about each other.

I don't feel like me unless I have my hair shaved. So even when I'm an old lady, I'm going to have it.

I think people think they're not brave if they're frightened, and that's not true at all.

You also said in Rolling Stone that your look is based on mine. The look I chose, I chose on purpose at a time when my record company were encouraging me to do what you have done. I felt I would rather be judged on my talent and not my looks. I am happy that I made that choice, not least because I do not find myself on the proverbial rag heap now that I am almost 47 yrs of age.. which unfortunately many female artists who have based their image around their sexuality, end up on when they reach middle age.

When you live with the Devil you learn there's a God very quickly.

Biggest lesson I've ever had in life is that blues had a baby and they named it rock 'n' roll.
