QUOTES:

You always have to remember – no matter what you’re told – that God loves all the flowers, even the wild ones that grow on the side of the highway.

I absolutely refuse to reveal my age. What am I – a car?

You can laugh when I talk, but not when I sing. People used to throw rocks at me for my clothes… now they wanna know where I buy them.

On being a feminist: I’m a bra-burner from way back!

I lucked out when I started to sing. I’d already experienced failing at everything else

You can’t stamp out individuality – there’s too many of us.

(on her album “At Last”) It was an idea to do a special project. because people would come see me live and go, “Gee, I didn’t know she could sing.” And I’d be like, “Yeah, you ever tried to sing ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’, pal?”.

There have been great things that happened to me. If they didn’t happen to me, I wouldn’t be here. Everything was supposed to happen to me. I wouldn’t have the sight that I have, I wouldn’t have the creative moments that I have, I wouldn’t be able to articulate what I need to articulate. I wouldn’t have my son. I wouldn’t have my husband. I’m a lucky woman. Everything. Every single thing. There are no mistakes.
