I don't want to be dragging myself on stage, year in year out, until someone else tells me it is time to go ... There are certain birthdays that make you revalue your life.
There comes a point where it is just undignified to be a rock 'n' roll star
This is what I want in heaven... words to become notes and conversations to be symphonies.
Physical strength in a woman -- that's what I am.
Some of those dresses are works of art. I'd be happy to just have them in my closet and let somebody else wear them.

Everything - except maybe the backless
I will never give in to old age until I become old
I didn't have anybody, really, no foundation in life, so I had to make my own way. Always, from the start. I had to go out in the world and become strong, to discover my mission in life.
