The first album is a classic record and I think the prototype of a sound that no one else does.

I haven't been approached to do anything, but I would certainly make room for it. It was a really fun time.

It's kind of like family. I can't say that we go out to lunch and to the movies every day with each other. Everyone's fully grown adult women with lives.

Every now and then, a lot of bands doing the same kind of music will organically sprout up at once.

The new material fits very comfortably with the older stuff.

I met Rodney when I first moved to LA, so I'd say 20 years. He's the eternal teenager.

I'm friends with Carla Olsen and she's doing a lot of producing these days. She's getting quite a little collection of records that she's produced. She's real busy.

I think it's a reflection of the music business in general, which to me seems very fragmented.

I will be very grateful that I get to go out and play a song and get well paid for it.

Because usually in the past when I was in a big band, that was all I did.

We always have a good time playing, and I'm glad it shows.

You can never be overdressed or overeducated.

The self is a repeatedly reconstructed biological state.

Solitude is independence. It had been my wish and with the years I have attained it.

It is all right to say exactly what you think if you have learned to think exactly.

Whatever is received is received according to the nature of the recipient.

...the people at large absolutely gave James Brown respect. He was an original like a Rembrandt or a Picasso

Patrimonial capitalism's legacy is that many people see reform as a euphemism for corruption and self-dealing.

It's just a spare room in my apartment. It's very cluttered and not particularly aesthetically inspiring, and it's very un-noise-proof.

A cheerful intelligent face is the end of culture, and success enough. For it indicates the purpose of Nature and wisdom attained.

I'd like to think of myself as somebody who has a voice for liberating female sexuality.
