I Only Wore Makeup When I Went Onstage.

My True Belief About Rock 'n' Roll--and There Have Been A Lot Of Phrases Attributed To Me Over The Years--is This: I Believe This Kind Of Music Is Demonic. ... A Lot Of The Beats In Music Today Are Taken From Voodoo, From The Voodoo Drums. If You Study Music In Rhythms, Like I Have, You'll See That Is True.

I Think God Made A Woman To Be Strong And Not To Be Trampled Under The Feet Of Men. I've Always Felt This Way Because My Mother Was A Very Strong Woman, Without A Husband.

I Think They Saw Me As Something Like A Deliverer, A Way Out. My Means Of Expression, My Music, Was A Way In Which A Lot Of People Wished They Could Express Themselves And Couldn't.

I Think People Who Don't Believe In God Are Crazy. How Can You Say There Is No God When You Hear The Birds Singing These Beautiful Songs You Didn't Make?
