These boots were made for walking, that's just what they'll do. One of these days these boots are going to walk all over you.

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.

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

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.

Dust motes swirled in the air like tiny orbs of rainbows.

We are the totality of what we consume, in every way possible.

The past is a finite resource.

The bird's delirium does not interest the trees.

I, for one, know of no sweeter sight for a man's eyes than his own country.

For how many things, which for our own sake we should never do, do we perform for the sake of our friends.

We all either work for rich people or we sell stuff to rich people, so just punishing rich people is as bad for the economy as punishing anyone. Let's not punish anyone.

It's like when you want to make a house... the technique is very important.

Every year without knowing it I have passed the day When the last fires will wave to me

People think that the politician is just part of a system, and whether they're lying or not doesn't matter.
