attention divided equally family fit five fourth grew kids means orphan
I'd always been insecure. Being the fourth of five kids means attention is divided five ways, and to do this equally is impossible. I grew up feeling like the little orphan in the family, the one who didn't fit in.
Joan was one of my biggest fans, as was Chrissie Hynde.
I hate canceling anything, I'm 'the show must go on' mentality. If you can crawl, you can take the stage.
bottom love toes
I don't know what else I would do. I love entertaining people, I love communicating, I love an audience. I'm a real artist, right from the bottom of my toes to the top of my head.

I was inspired by Billie Holliday, and I really liked Mary Weiss of the Shangri-Las because she wore tight trousers and a waistcoat on top - she looked hot.

I would like to live forever in people's hearts and minds; that would be fun. I'll leave the world my art.

My own musical ambitions were born when I was five, watching the Ed Sullivan Show on TV. When Elvis Presley burst on to the screen, singing 'Don't Be Cruel,' I felt my first sexual thrill, though I didn't know what it was at the time.
I think like a man but have the emotions of a woman, and that's really dangerous.
bass fender front hanging wall
I got my first real bass guitar in my hands when I was 14 - a 1957 Fender Precision, which is still hanging on the wall in my front room. I loved the heaviness of it and the feel of the wood. I still do.

Do as many gigs as the good Lord sends. That's the only true training.
certain connected felt hear since time voices
Ever since I was a child, I've just had this sense that I'm connected to the spiritual world. I thought everyone else felt the same way. I can hear voices - not all the time - but when I'm with certain people, it sometimes comes through.
freezing hotels liked
I always found the road exciting. I liked stinking hotels and freezing dressing rooms.
