The moment I wrote my first song, I got addicted.
In front of the camera I look and I see visually what I've created.
My son does a little photography, but he's not involved the way I was.
People want performers, personality and drama, and you got that in the .
It's only in the seventies that I put the sticks down and I moved to the front.
We play some of my stuff and we play some Beatle covers.
I've always been a singer, but I don't know if I was always a natural performer.
I will literally open my mouth not knowing what is coming out.
Every performer wants to sing live. That's what I live for.
I don't like going out where it's really, really crowded.
I want all of my songs to do well whether I've written them or not.
People will always show their true selves in the end.
I had hoped you would protest, but please don't argue.
I will never get to Lady Gaga's status. That's not something I want.
I won't be having any more kids, though. Four is enough.
I'm a fan of retracing the facts and absorbing my atmosphere and being influenced by it.
It can even be a single note which defines the entire song.
I went to my prom. I wore this olive green, floor-length backless dress. It was rad.
I mean, I am my own fantasy.
Usually, writing lyrics for me is like bleeding drop by drop from the forehead.
My parents always saw me as an artist, and that greatly influenced me.
