“Touring is too much fun to stop.”

I wasn’t any good at playing tennis.

Kids are generally rotten until the age of about six, when they become people.

Growing up in America is like being taught to be stupid.

I think love’s an infatuation that turns into a habit, because you can’t keep that passion going. You get used to people, and that’s death for me – I like to be surprised.

I don’t want to advise anyone to do anything, apart from try and stay alive. That’s my advice – don’t die.

I never thought it was an option.

Cold pizza is a perfect breakfast, with lots of salt.

My father walked out on us when I was three months old, and my mum, well, she wasn’t the driven sort.

Good manners don’t cost nothing.

People look down on stuff that sells. What do you call that? Downward snobbery, I guess.

Everything I hear influences me. I can’t tell you all my influences as a musician.

I was the kid a lot of other mothers wouldn’t let you play with.

I find it quite easy to play chords, and, you know, that was all I ever did. I never wanted to be a lead guitarist.

Like most housewives, I don’t cook unless I have company.

I always open doors for women. It’s just good manners.

Rock n’ roll sounded like music from another planet. The first time around, we had people like Elvis, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis – all them people.

I do not have very much office experience.

Anyone who puts 110% into their work deserves as much success as they can get.

I regard myself as a woman who has seen much of life.

Learn as much by writing as by reading.

I’m not much of a joke writer.

I spend so much time hating (my body) but it never says a bad word about me

I spent so much time focusing on haters that I forgot about the people that actually love me. And that’s who I’m focused on this time around: the people that want to listen. The people that don’t want to listen, don’t listen. This is for the people that want to.

Considering how much we are all given to discuss the characters of others, and discuss them often not in the strictest spirit of charity.
