To Be Diagnosed With Cancer Was A Frightening Thing, And My First Reaction Was Sheer Panic, But I Was Really Fortunate That The Cancer Was Caught At Such An Early Stage That I Didn't Need Chemo Or Radiotherapy. But I Know That Cancer Is A Chronic Condition, And Once You've Had It, You're On The List, Because It Can Come Back.

I've Made A Contribution To My Time And My Generation Through Being Myself, Not Through What I Shared With The Rolling Stones. It's Very Bad For Me And Very Dangerous To See Myself As Someone Who Had An Influence On This Song Or That Song. It Immediately Puts Me In The Position Where My Worth Is Dependent On How Much Of My Soul I Shared With Mick Jagger, And It's Just Not Valid. You Can Use The Gossip You've Heard. You're Not Getting It From Me.

I Was Anorexic In The 60s And 70s, Although It Wasn't Called Anorexia Then. I Thought People Would Be Nicer To Me If I Looked Very Small And Delicate, So Food Wasn't High On My Agenda. But It Is Now.
