Everybody has goals, aspirations or whatever, and everybody has been at a point in their life where nobody believed in them...But when I say I'm going to do something, I have to do it.

Life's aspirations come in the guise of children.

I certainly don't have any aspirations to live to 70. It would be so boring. I will be dead and gone long before that. I won't be here... as far as I'm concerned, I've lived a full life and if I'm dead tomorrow, I don't give a damn. I've lived. I really have done it all.

I have too many fantasies to be a housewife. I guess I am a fantasy.

Growing older is not upsetting; being perceived as old is.

If I ever go to West Africa, it would probably be for a free concert. I would want to do something for the people there. Maybe we can make a whole event, the way Bob Marley would have done it. Just for the people. And if they climb over the gate, let them climb over the gate.
