Don't make me sad, don't make me cry. Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough, I don't know why.

Be like snow - cold, but beautiful.

Be Young, Be Dope, Be Proud.

I am nostalgic of an era I never knew.

What other people think of me is none of my business. Sometimes, it hurts my feelings, but I have to just keep going.

No matter how many people give me advice, I am going to do what my heart tells me to do

Being brave means knowing that when you fail, you don't fail forever.

They judge me like a picture book, by the colors, like they forgot to read.

Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? Will you still love me when I've got nothing but my aching soul?

Sometimes I wish I was a beautiful machine so I could resist your kiss and not cry when you're mean.

In New York I pretty much live in diners - I order French Fries, Diet Coke floats and lots of coffee.

I have too many fantasies to be a housewife.... I guess I am a fantasy.

Prayer is a serious thing. We may be taken at our words.

Music survives everything, and like God, it is always present. It needs no help, and suffers no hindrance.

Even when we know things, sometimes it takes words to make them concrete.

The doom lies in yourself, not in your name.

Politics is not my life. I have a career in radio and another career in film.

I don't buy into the glory days thing. I think every time has its great things to it. The '60s were such a glorious time but it's easy to forget that there was all sorts of bullshit too.

Not having to travel and being able to settle in has helped me in training life and school life. I've learned to get a grip and take care of myself.

There's pressure, but that's true no matter who you are or what you do.

If you are to stay in the good graces of the powerful, you had best, however unobtrusively, please the servants of the powerful.
