What a model of an artist was for me was an artist who worked. Picasso was the ultimate model, because the work ethic he had.
I'm not really a nostalgic person.
I loved books; I read my childhood away. I was more interested in my interior world.
I'm an intuitive musician. I have no real technical skills. I can only play six chords on the guitar.
Sure I destroyed my guitar at every concert, but it was okay, because I'd always get a shiny new one the very next day.
When I was younger, I felt it was my duty to wake people up. I thought poetry was asleep. I thought rock 'n' roll was asleep.
What I really like is an intelligent review. It doesn't have to be positive. A review that has some kind of insight, and sometimes people say something that's startling or is so poignant.
I've written a lot of prose. I just haven't published it.
If I have any regrets, I could say that I'm sorry I wasn't a better writer or a better singer.
I felt alien my whole life, but I didn't feel alien because of my gender. Other people made me aware of my gender.
I had a handful of records, but when I was 11 years old, I liked Puccini as much as Little Richard. They both made sense to me.
People called me the godmother of punk, but I never name myself anything.
My mother had no end of tragedy in her life. She would make herself get up and take a deep breath and go out and do laundry. Hang up sheets.
The thing I've always liked about performing is that I decide what I want to wear, whether I want to comb my hair.
