When You Reach The Top,

I'm Sure That I've Already Been Dead.

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.

Performers And Their Public Should Never Meet. Once The Curtain Comes Down, The Performer Should Fly Away Like A Magician's Dove.

Death Is The Beginning Of Something.

Don't Care What People Say. Don't Give A Damn About Their Laws.
