Dying is easy, it's living that scares me to death. ”

I have a calling in my soul, if you like, to try to make my life in some way worthwhile. What is the value of my existence? ”

You just decide what your values are in life and what you are going to do, and then you feel like you count, and that makes life worth living. It makes my life meaningful. ”

There is a big difference between what I do onstage and what I do in my private life. I don't put my living room on magazine pages. ”

It's a very telling thing when you have children. You have to be there for them, you've got to set an example, when you're not sure what your example is, and anyway the world is changing so fast you don't know what is appropriate anymore. ”

I mean, I'm 48 years old and I've been through a lot in my life - you know, loss, whether it be death, illness, separation. I mean, the failed expectations... We all have dreams. ”

I don't want to be owned by a corporation and obliged to make a certain type of album. I want to be free. ”

If we value what we've inherited for free - from other women - surely it's right morally and ethically for us to wake up and say, 'I'm a feminist. ' ”

I was never much of a one to win prizes... and certainly never placed too much value on their acquisition. ”

I want people to start thinking about what it means to be HIV-positive and to ask questions about that. ”
