I Have A Strict Policy That Nobody

Children Have Always Responded To Me Because I Have That Cartoon-character Look.

I Feel Fortunate That I've Had A Lot Of Songs Recorded By Other People, Because I Take My Songwriting Very Seriously. It's Only Those People That Have Followed Me Over The Years And Really Know My Work That Know How Serious I Am About All Of It - Including The Way I Look. You Can't Take My High Heels From Me, You Can't Have My Long Fingernails, You Can't Take All This Hair From Me, Because It's Part Of This Thing That I've Become. I Wouldn't Want To Give Any Of It Up. Do I Have To Be Ugly To Be A Songwriter? This Is The Way I Am, And It's What I Choose To Be.

I Write A Little Something Every Day, Even Though I Don't Write A Song [every Day]. Everything Inspires Me. I'll Come Up With A Line, Or Somebody Will Say Something That Will Trigger Something.

There Are Some People Who Physically Are Not Beautiful. But The Way They Are, The Way They Treat People, They Become Beautiful, And You Forget All About [their Looks].
