If somebody wants to sing my songs after I'm gone, nobody will be happier than my dead body.

Singing is a form of admitting that I'm alive.

If I hadn't had music in my life, it's quite possible I'd be dead and I'd much rather be alive.

If I had five minutes to live, I don't think I'd be bothered singing a song. I'd be dead, so it won't really matter. I'd have a glass of wine and a cigarette.

I'll only stop singing when I'm in my grave.

There are some days when I think I'm going to die from an overdose of satisfaction.

I can say I'd honestly rather be happy than have 30 to 40 songs that I've written about these thrilling, exciting, horrible, unhappy times.

I would much rather be a better mother or better human being than I would be a singer. Fortunately for me singing makes me a living.

My music is how I feel, and that's changed from being twenty years old to being forty-three years old.
