I Believe That There Is A Certain

I Didn't Want To Look Like Anyone Else - Like Janis Joplin Or Grace Slick. That's Why I Never Went To Any Of The Big Designers.

I Was Not Going To Be A Stupid Girl Singer. I Was Going To Be Way More Than That.

Even In My Really Bad, Drugged-out Days, I Didn't Go Away. I Still Toured, Still Did Interviews. I Never Gave Up The Fight. That's Why I'm Who I Am Today, Because I Didn't Leave. And I Think I Made The Right Choice.

Prince Would Have Been The Person I Thought Would Live Forever Because Of The Way He Took Care Of Himself - Not Counting The Fact He Jumped Off Risers In 6-inch Heels. He Probably Had Fractures From His Feet All The Way Up To His Head.

I Remember Once Prince Dropped By To See Me When I Was In Minneapolis And I Was Sick, With A Bag Of Cough Drops And A Spoon Of Cough Medicine. I Said To Him, "hey, Can I Have Another Spoon Of That? It's Just Over The Counter," And He'd Go, "no, I Didn't Come Here To Start Up New Drug Addictions For You." And I Was Like, "c'mon, Give Me That Bottle!" He Was Very Watchful Over Me.
