I don't really care what people think about my hair. It's my hair, so why should they care? Ooh, that rhymed.

I hate album covers where people are just smiling so big. It's like a neon sign that says PLEASE COME BUY ME.

Performing, I can take it or leave it. Horticulture is far more challenging. I'm absolutely fascinated by it.

I have the worst memory in the world. I can remember some of my dreams, but later that day, i'll forget them.

I definitely didn't want to be that person that came out and was like, 'O.K. I'm going to lead every parade.'

First off, it's wonderful how much people are supporting me and felt I should have stayed in the competition.

Every time somebody asks me, 'Oh, when you mix your own music, what are you going to make?' And I don't know.

I've learnt to accept what has happened to my voice, I suppose, but I do wish it didn't sound quite so rough.

When I was 18, the vision was to make music that didn't exist, because everything else was so unsatisfactory.

My favourite store? Seize Sur Vingt in New York. They make most of my suits, and they are really cool people.

There's just a few people that call themselves stars can actually sit down with a guitar and sing you a song.

It's the same with the ballplayers. Babe Ruth spent a lot, too and the ballplayers make a lot more money now.

I remember with my first album, I was so scared of messing it up, of blowing the opportunity, that I blew it.

I've been more conscious of my salt intake, sugar intake, making sure I'm not eating as many processed foods.

Aside from my work, in my everyday private life, I'm not a very adventureous person. I don't look for change.

I have never been accepted. I'll never make the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They're never going to let me in.

I was a star in Italy, Austrailia, Germany and Japan before the American stations ever paid attention at all.

I'm from East Berlin. I grew up in the Bertold Brecht, Kurt Weil tradition, also in the old hippie tradition.

A successful collaboration is all about trust and respect. If you show people trust they will perform better.

I might not know where you are or what you are doing right now, but if you hear my voice will you come to me?

I love Miranda Lambert; I think she's wonderful. I love the song 'Love Letters' and 'Famous in a Small Town.'

If I had an axe on the evening at Newport when [Dylan] broke out the electric guitar, I'd have cut his cable.

But I decline to say who has ever listened to them, who has written them, or other people who have sung them.

I love to rock, but it's liberating not to always have to keep up with the freight train that is the Old 97's

I grew up as the youngest child in a big, noisy family, and there was always someone around to hang out with.

If you just take one foot in front of the other without any protection, you may end up falling off the fence.

People often ask me how would I like to be remembered and I answer that I would simply like to be remembered.

I learned my first songs when I was six and seven, and when I was eight years old, I won a local talent show.

I was a married woman and I had a baby. I would have adored it, but I just couldn't do it because I'm a lady.

I had a tumor in my left eye which killed the optic nerve, but it's my real eye. I just cannot see out of it.

I love talking to the youth and helping them as much as I can or encouraging them, if I can help them at all.

When it comes to my family I never quite know how protective I have to be, or what I should or shouldn't say.

I needed to stop eating sweeties and cakes. It's the bane of my life. I had to lose the weight for my health.

It could be thousands of people or just two, but I can't hide behind anything when I am singing my own songs.

I don't know where I'd be without you here with me. Life with you makes perfect sense. You're my best friend.

You wouldn't believe that I still have the bikers with the caps to the side at my door, ringing the doorbell.

I didn't have to play rugby that well, and I didn't have to play cricket that well, because I had this voice.

I'm the type of guy that I wear my heart on my sleeve. If I'm in a good or bad mood, then everybody knows it.

I'm like it's - it's like taking out whatever you have in your fridge and putting it in a bowl and eating it.

I wear anything I feel like. If I want to put on a pair of Converse with a pencil stuck through them, I will.

I like eating pepperoni. I heat it up in the microwave and then I let it roast and then I eat it with cheese.

One day, I would like to have my own chat show. Oprah is my idol because she uses her platform so responsibly.

I never really did abandon my true self. It's not like I invented this imaginary person and started to be her.

In 1973 we moved to the British Isle of Man, and I put my first band together for one year, named Melody Fair.

Late in my career, I was asked to do an inspirational record and a duets album and I didn't want to do either.

I didn't have a life. Basically, for 40 years it was my work and my nose was to the grindstone the whole time.

Christmases past, my sister Carolyn and I - we'd been waiting for Santa all night. Nothing! Where is this man?

I look up to Rihanna and Rita Ora. They obviously wear a lot of gold jewelry and have this urban feel to them.

... Geniuses have a little extra something. There's that little something that you know is a little different.

I hate reality shows. But if I had to be on one, I'd have to say 'Realtree Road Trips' on the Outdoor Channel.
