“If you don’t settle for that and you keep fighting it, you know, you’ll end up anything you want to be.”

Why should I hold back now and sound mediocre, just so I can sound mediocre twenty years from now?

In my insides, it really hurts if someone doesn’t like me. It’s silly.

I’d rather have ten years of superhypermost than live to be seventy sitting in some goddamn chair watching TV.

This whole thing that’s happened to me, you see, this whole success thing..it hasn’t yet really compromised the position that I took a long time ago in Texas

I had a lot of hurts and confusions. You know, it’s hard when you’re a kid to be different. You’re all full of things, and you don’t know that it’s about.

Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer.

Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz.

I love being a star more than life itself.

Oh, Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz – My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.

.I’m gettin’ it now, today. I don’t even know where I’m gonna be twenty years from now, so I’m just gonna keep on rockin’, cause if I start saving up bits and pieces of me.

All my life I just wanted to be a beatnik. Meet all the heavies, get stoned, get laid, have a good time. That’s all I ever wanted.

It’s that point two people can get to they call love, when you really touch someone for the first time, but it’s gigantic, multiplied by the whole audience. I feel chills.

They threw these musicians at me, man, and the sound was coming from behind. The bass was charging me.

Guess what, I might be the first hippie pinup girl.

Life is too damn short and [screwed] up to go through it silently loving someone and never telling them how you feel. [Screw]

Singing, it’s like it’s like loving somebody, it’s a supreme emotional and physical experience.

They may not have two spondees to rub together but they still want to pen their saga untrammelled by life-threatening activities like trailing round Sainsbury’s, emptying the dishwasher or going to the nativity play.

You’re only as much as you settle for. If they settle for being somebody’s dishwasher that’s their own f***ing problem.
