I've seen every one, from Motley Crue to John Denver, with tears running down my face. I had no idea everyone had such a hard time.

The loneliness of a one night stand is hard to take.

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

I'm not a witch, I just like Halloween, and I thought that blondes look skinnier in black.

I made a conscious decision that I was not going to have children. I didn't want others raising them, and looking after them myself would get in the way of being a musician and writer.

I remember once Prince dropped by to see me when I was in Minneapolis and I was sick, with a bag of cough drops and a spoon of cough medicine. I said to him, "Hey, can I have another spoon of that? It's just over the counter," and he'd go, "No, I didn't come here to start up new drug addictions for you." And I was like, "C'mon, give me that bottle!" He was very watchful over me.

When you grow up as a girl, the world tells you the things that you are supposed to be: emotional, loving, beautiful, wanted. And then when you are those things, the world tells you they are inferior: illogical, weak, vain, empty.
