I feel one of the things I brought to rock and roll was that sort of movie star glamour and image, and that's what always fascinated me. I always wanted to be that blonde, glowing woman on film, and it was sort of automatically thrown at my feet -- and I went with it.

The only thing I really wanted to be was a beatnik, and look what happened: I ended up being in a band.

We don't have control over that. I think it stinks. I don't like it. It just makes me feel like I should carry a mop at all times.

I did have regular boyfriends and with them, I could be a bad girl, but I wasn't like a bad girl for the neighborhood or a big slut.

I certainly didn't think that we would get back together after we broke up in the '80s, but there you go.

We never toured (together) in the past and I am looking forward to this. I think it's going to be a very powerful show. It's probably one of the most compatible bills that we've ever been on as far as far as music styles.

This was like going to school for us. It's part of our heritage. It would be horrible to see it close.
