At Fifty. I Thought I Would Be

You Shouldn't Have To Pay For Your Love With Your Bones And Your Flesh.

Of Course, You're Not Making Records In A Vacuum. I'm Not Making Them For Myself. It Would Be Nice If I Could Get More People To Hear Them. But If I Have To Sell My Soul To The Devil To Do It, I Won't.

When You Have Children Your Life - This Is My Job And That's My Life. So It's A Totally Different Thing. They're My Priority, They Have To Be, And They Always Will Be. I Have To Do Them First. So This Always Gets Pushed In The Back.

In My Early 20s, I Had This Idea That I Was Going To Front A Band, Like Robert Plant Of Led Zeppelin. I Didn't Just Want To Be The Chick Singing Ballads About Somebody Breaking My Heart. Everyone In The Business Said, 'why Don't You Do What Olivia Newton-jonn And Linda Ronstadt Are Doing?' But I Wanted To Sing As A Powerful Female Who Wasn't Afraid To Speak Her Mind Or Be Sexual.

With The Power Of Conviction, There Is No Sacrifice.
