I love the fact that 35 years later, I still hear my songs on the radio.

My honeymoon night was spent on the floor in the bathroom with my mother.

We had the skirts with the slits up the side, sort of tough, sort of Spanish Harlem cool, but sweet too.

So don't get me wrong, I love my songs, and I still love hearing them. That's history, baby.

I think Behind the Music is good for people like Leif Garrett and Motley Crue.

But, you know, the Stones were my opening act in the Sixties. I loved those British guys, the way they just stood there and shook their hair.

It doesn't pay to try, all the smart girls know why.

Stage performing is a dying art form.

I mean, Janet Jackson? She's like Michael Jackson with hair.

I used to cry myself to sleep every night. I missed singing so much. And performing. Man, I missed it so much.

When I do a concert and people put their hands in the air, they're doing it on their own.

Someone Else's words can detour your potential!

When you blame others, you give up your power to change.

I have made it a rule of my life to trust a man long after other people gave him up, but I don't see how I can ever trust any human being again.

An appreciation of prose is learned, not instinctive. It is an acquired taste, like Scotch whisky.

The theater of my mind has a seating capacity of just one, and its sold out for all performances.

I think that's why I keep being drawn back to television, because I think it's one of the most creative outlets.

It's just cool to do something different and branch out and dabble in different genres.

You know I’m the first rapper to adopt a tabby cat. You know I adopted straight from the ASPCA, you feel me? Just breaking the boundaries, man.

We do not live in a centred space any more, but have to create our own centres.

Perfect little dream, The kind that hurts the most.
