“Time is my enemy. Time will catch up with me vocally. And I dread that. I dread to think about life without singing.”

One of the last things she said to me was I have to go, but you don’t have to! So don’t fall with me now!

There’s plenty for me to do. There are more albums. I’ll record as long as I can and as long as my voice works as well as it does now and for as long as people want to hear me.

I think teen-age love is a great thing. There’s nothing quite like it and never will be for the rest of your life.

I love listening to new stuff, at home in LA I always have the radio on to hear what is happening.

Plant a radish, get a radish, never any doubt. That’s why I love vegetables, you know what they’re about!

I got married when I was 16 so I had to do shift-work to make ends meet.

It’s good to touch the green, green grass of home.

Dont just do something because everybody else is doing it- do it your own way!

I’ve always felt myself as being a serious singer.

I like to drink to suit my location.

You are only a young talent, but we don’t know how old your soul is.

Love is in the air everywhere I look around. Love is in the air every sight and every sound.

We won best breakthrough video, it meant so much to me to win that award, it was a turning point in my career.

It is only too easy to catch people’s attention by doing something worse than anyone else has dared to do it before.

Nature won’t be summoned to order and won’t be kept waiting. It must be caught, well caught.

The more you push to get close to me, the more I’ll withdraw. You’ll never catch me. Not if I don’t want to be caught.

If something catches your attention, it’s probably going to catch the attention of others, too.

It’s not worth moving heaven and earth, spending billions of dollars just trying to catch one person.

A closed mouth catches no flies.

Idleness is hells fishhook for catching souls.

There is something extraordinary about watching her inhabit the world. – and sometimes she catches me staring.
