I first bought a Buffy Sainte-Marie record when I was 12, and her music has always remained with me. In the 1960s, as a political activist, Buffy's lyrics were fearless, and I'm very grateful for all the risks that she took.

I would rather eat my own testicles than reform The Smiths, and that's saying something for a vegetarian.

Burn down the disco Hang the blessed D.J. Because the music that they constantly play It says nothing to me about my life

It's so tedious that everyone must be defined.

Close your eyes, and think of someone you physically admire, and let me kiss you.

I do think it's possible to go through life and never fall in love, or find someone who loves you.

I'm fascinated by people in their eighties and nineties. Especially those who are still creating and living in an interesting way. I am fascinated by them because they have so much to say now that they've lived for so long.
