Death Is The Beginning Of Something.

I Always Thought My Days Spent In Darkness [as A Child She Had Cataracts And Was Unable To See For Nearly Four Years] Gave Me A Very Special Sensitivity. Much Later, When I Really Wanted To Hear, Really 'see' A Song, I'd Close My Eyes, And When I Wanted To Bring It Out Of The Very Depths Of Myself, Out Of My Guts, Out Of My Belly, When The Song Had To Come From Far Away, I'd Close My Eyes.

I Don't Want To Die An Old Lady.

Use Your Faults, Use Your Defects; Then You're Going To Be A Star.

I Wouldn't Mind At All Coming Back To Earth After My Death.

Singing Is A Way Of Escaping. It's Another World. I'm No Longer On Earth.
