I feel that the world is in a really dangerous place and it scares me.

When Chrissie Hynde was inducted into the Hall of Fame, I, of course, was there to see that because I have to back up the girl. When it was over, I said we needed to have a party for Chrissie in my hotel suite. I didn't really know her, but it was great.

I look around at all the girl singers, and I think they're all my children... and they're all going to do this... And, yes, maybe I inspired them because I did get through a lot, and I did have the same problems that they're going to have. You do have to give up a lot for it.

I keep all my poems in my journals and lock them away. They are the start of everything.

If you see somebody running down the street naked every single day, you stop looking up.

I will always play "Stand Back" anyway. And Prince will always he standing behind me every time I do.

I wouldn't like to be in movies. Movie people are strange. They live a different life than musicians do.
