Quotes

▶

"We went to see all the shows. American musical theater and jazz were very big."; "We need role models who are going to break the mold."; "We are in this period now where we all are trying to be in shape physically and deny ourselves any pleasure."; "There was a French singer, Francoise Hardy - I used to look at her pictures and try to dress like her."; "Then I went through a big Peggy Lee stage, then I became Annie Ross, then Judy Collins.";  …

"Sometimes, but the year I lived in France I started to write songs."; "Sometimes my boyfriend would write the lyrics and I would write the melody, and other times I would start from scratch. Or sometimes I would take a local poem and put that to music."; "So I suppose this slightly mature fashion sense happened because of what I had."; "No, because I was always nervous about being onstage."; "My scar is beautiful. It looks like an arrow."; "My look was even more solidified when I started singing in Greenwich Village with my sister Lucy. We wore matching dresses as the Simon Sisters."; "My father was a classical pianist, and my mother was a singer of just about everything."; "I try to get to those peculiar and particular things that you never think of to say."; "I took it to heart that in order to be a good person, you never said anything mean about anybody."; "I just want to show off my scar proudly and not be afraid of it."; "I had a mastectomy in 1998, and then chemo."; "But when we listened to the radio, it was Bill Haley and the Comets or the Everly Brothers."; "As a singer I tried on all these hats, these voices, these clothes, and eventually out came me."; "A really strong woman accepts the war she went through and is ennobled by her scars."
