In The Period Where I Had To

No One Expected Me. Everything Awaited Me.

I've Lost Lots Of Men In My Life, Besides My Mother, Which Is A Whole Different Loss.

I Am Not Really Certain How Original My Contribution To Music Is As I Am Obviously An Amateur.

When I Stopped Performing For 16 Years And Lived In Michigan And Was Married And Raising My Children, I Wrote About Four Or Five Books. I Haven't Published Them.

Poetry Is A Solitary Process. One Does Not Write Poetry For The Masses. Poetry Is A Self-involved, Lofty Pursuit. Songs Are For The People. When I'm Writing A Song, I Imagine Performing It. I Imagine Giving It. It's A Different Aspect Of Communication. It's For The People.
