If I had my life to live over, I would never dream

Most women would not be happy being me. People say, 'But you're alone.' But I don't feel alone. I feel very un-alone.

I preferred not to be laden down with a big instrument. If you're behind a guitar, you get used to being behind a guitar, and you don't really perform because you can't. I wanted to be able to just hold on to the mike and sing.

I don't love the years going by. I'd just as soon stay forty-five. But it's OK because I feel a whole lot better than I did at thirty-five.

And the moon never beams Without bringing me dreams And the sun never shines But I see the bright eyes I lie down by the side Of my darling My life, my life.

I didn't want to look like anyone else - like Janis Joplin or Grace Slick. That's why I never went to any of the big designers.

I don't really like to be filmed.
