I think most people are aware of the garbage in the tabloids and dont give them a lot of credence.

I wasn't accepted because I didn't accept the drug culture that most of my peers were involved in. Now it's like a locked room.

You keep lyin' when you ought to be truthin'.

You keep thinking that you'll never get burned, I just found me a brand new box of matches.

The Columbia years are the most sentimental for me. My parents were together through most of that time and we were a happy, sort of normal family.

The one hit song that I have tremendous gratitude for is Boots, because it has a life of its own. It's like being identified with a brand name.

I didn't just want to be Frank's daughter who sang Boots. I take my music very seriously and studied very hard. It's not a joke to me.

Morrissey wrote to me and said, I have a song for you and if we release it as a single, you'll be on the charts for the first time since 1972, I said, what time, where?

Morrissey wrote a really gorgeous song for me. I'm crazy for that man. And he thinks I'm hip!

After 50, the rock 'n' roll road is a little absurd. It's very difficult to play these little places. You're out there on a rickety old bus with no place to shower.

I have never been accepted. I'll never make the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They're never going to let me in.

If Nature brought you to it. Nature will get you through it.

Every spark returns to darkness. Every sound returns to silence. Every flower returns to sleep with the earth. The journey of the sun and moon is predictable. But yours, is your ultimateart.

If Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her.

There's always a little bit of personal satisfaction when you prove somebody wrong.

We live in a society that feeds on criticism. It is so easy to find fault, and to resist doing so requires much discipline.

While you are alive, your worldly self is like a collector of benefits from Allah's bounties, which come to you from myriads of hands.

There's a perception that's been put out into the marketplace by No Child Left Behind that schools aren't doing enough for kids.

Good players create opportunities. The great players and the great people seize them

The law cannot make a wicked person virtuous…God’s grace alone can accomplish such a thing.

Truth for us is simply a collective name for verification processes
