01. "One thing he had was a lot of pride and dignity and if anybody tries to take it away, I'm kind of hardcore with that."
02. "Sometimes I do. I have to kind of get into a mindset, a certain headspace, I definitely do. I'm もっと見る prone to his '70s material, which is what I was around for and watched a lot. I listen to a lot of that stuff. It probably influenced me quite a bit. I'm もっと見る drawn to the darker, sadder songs."
03. "My kids are so much もっと見る together than I ever was. They're my baby-sitters! It's funny having kids when you're young, because あなた grow up with them. There's something to be 発言しました for having them when you're young, and then having them again when you're 35 または 40 and have been through it all."
04. "My biggest fear has been [my kids] losing their identity of themselves and falling into all of this who they're connected to thing, including myself right now."
05. "I had to do this record for me. I don't like attention on me, and that's a problem, but if I get it, I'd rather have it because I made a record and not because of who I married または who my dad was."
06. "I've produced something that was mine, that I'm proud of, so it helps me hold my head up a bit higher. It's not based on some other B.S. that I'm getting attention. I get attention for the right reasons, which makes me happy with the record."
07. "You want to know who I am, and what I am, it's in here. This is how either fucked up I am, または crazy または deranged または stupid または whatever あなた want to call it. This is me, and it's from me, and that's the only reason I did it."
08. "I didn't make this record to set the record straight または anything. I just wanted to put something out there, and I'm glad I have. I'd be having much もっと見る fun with all this if I was in the least bit vain または desperate for attention, but I'm not, so, あなた know ..."
09. "The biggest struggle, and why I took so long, was to get me to compromise enough to put records on that were sort of 安全, 安全です and radio-friendly. What I tend to go towards is ambience and a vibe. I didn't go for a style, which is why the whole thing is a potpourri of I don't know what."
10. "I'm being completely honest right now, & I might get my 尻, お尻 kicked, but would あなた honestly want someone dressed like your dead father in front of あなた while you're working?"
11. "I'll be comfortable on stage if people come because they like the album and they really want to see me. Not because they look at it as a curiosity, または they're really skeptical."
12. "I think that it will help me break through what I need to break through. It's not easy. When most bands have toured, they've gotten their ギグ together and that によって the time they've signed something, they've already had all that, so they go out and they're excited to do all that."
13. "I want to go on every night and find my way with it. When I know people are there to see me because they like the 音楽 and they're 歌う the lyrics, it's great - instead of when they're standing there and don't know what the hell to think about me."
14. "He was a larger-than-life figure to me, someone I admired in everyway. I was daddy's girl."
15. "My relationship with my mother is fine. It took us a while to get there, but it's fine. Because we're completely the opposites of each other, so we didn't find our place with one another until about a 年 and a half ago. It's been a bit, like, a hit-and-miss situation."

20. "I was very protective of my father, and I didn't like these people who hung around outside all day. They creeped me out."
21. "I got an early education on how bad men and women can act. Most of those people were sucking the life out of him."
22. "I remember him (laughs) watching me through the crack of a door 歌う with a hairbrush. I was in front of his mirror. I think he wanted me to sing. He would get me on the 表, テーブル and make me sing sometimes または play the piano. He was very encouraging on that front."
23. "When they (her parents) divorced, I would go out on the road もっと見る and miss もっと見る school, which I liked. People say I didn't get to see him very much, but I was with him quite a bit. All of a sudden, a car would 表示する up at school, and he was calling for me to go out on the road."
24. "After my father died, I stayed relatively sane for two years, although I did lose my noodle at summer camp right after my dad's death. But when I hit 12, 13, that was it. I hated my mom's boyfriend, and there was a lot of control on me. I didn't like that, so I rebelled."
25. "Two words: lonely and deep. I was very lonely and way too deep for someone so young. My head was full of all these big, terrible questions. あなた know, what is life, what is death, why are we here? It affected me badly."
26. "I think I had a harsh introduction to death early on, and I kind of, it sort of started a whole sequence at that point. [My dad] and then my grandfather and my grandmother, and my, friends, and, it was just non-stop for a long time."
27. "I did this to justify my existence, aside from the sensational tabloid crap."
28. "I wanted to put something real out there to end 35 years of speculation. My hope is that I can break through my legacy and earn my own credentials as an artist. Not for some stupid superficial reason, like I want to be a pop icon, but because it would make me feel もっと見る like I could hold my head up."
29. "The reason I did this, and the reason the record is called To Whom It May Concern, is that there are going to be people who will immediately judge me, または label me, または try to shut me down right out of the gate."
30. "I'm doing it because music's been such a profound influence on me and my whole life and gotten me through everything, I thought I could use this album as a vehicle, an outlet of whatever I've been through, and I wanted to see if I could affect others. It's as simple as that."
31. "I want a fingerprint of my own and I want credibility, and that's all I want, I just want some substance to my existence, something that I created. Not who I married, または where I came from -- not that I'm trying to run from that."
32. "Absolutely. There's a lot もっと見る pressure on me. People think it's easier, but it's actually not, because there are people who want to immediately throw あなた the curve because of the celebrity part of it, which I understand. But that's not something that I really had anything to do with creating."
33. "It's just a record about me: who I am, the way I think, the way I feel. I felt it was time to put something out there that was a completely honest depiction of me, because let's face it, nobody knows who the hell I am. Sure, I've been the subject of a million tabloid sensations during my life, but that's hardly an accurate representation, is it?"
34. "The lyrics are もっと見る conceptual than anything. They're not particularly about a person. They're just metaphorical, conceptual, of a time and place, ideal, life, that I once knew."
35. "It's rewarding in that I can hold my head up a little higher because people are not just looking at me because of my marriages または the tabloids または because of my lineage, A lot of times people like the music. It's much もっと見る gratifying than being stared at for being an animal in a cage."
36. "I'm happy. I did it and I had it tough. I'm up against a lot - most celebrity kids are. I was ready to be annihilated. I had all the odds stacked against me on this one, which is why I can't even come close to [believing it's happening]."
37. "I thought of putting the record out under another name, and I thought about putting it out under a band name, または anonymously - I ran through everything. Andy Slater, the president of Capitol, and I tend to battle a lot, and he always wins - so far. He persuaded me to put the record out under my own name."
38. "I hate working out. It probably would be dancing, if anything, または walking."
39. "I did go through a Goth thing, but that was a long time ago. I just like artists that shake it up, that piss people off または make people think または rattle the cage somehow."
40. "I listened to lots of different things. I was a real big Pat Benatar fan, and the Wilson sisters I loved Heart. ピンク Floyd. I went through a punk phase: I liked the Sex Pistols.

46. "I'm like a lion--I roar. If someone betrays me, I won't be a victim. I don't sulk, I get angry. I go immediatley into retaliation. But it always comes from insecurity または pain."
47. "If I'm alone too long I think too much, and I'm not interested in doing that. That won't lead anywhere good, I'm sure. If I'm busy I tend to stay out of trouble. An idle mind is the devil's playground."
48. "I'll say it loud and say it proud. I'm completely insane."
49. "Demented. My sense of humur is only based on irony and insanity. Something completely nosequitor will make me die laughing."

55. "I find it very unnerving and scary, to be honest, because I am a very private person"
56. "I always worry about overexposure, but it's もっと見る important for me to have attention for the right reasons right now as opposed to some sensationalist B.S. crap that's just ridiculous. The celebrity thing -- whatever that is -- I don't like so much."
57. "I always look around. I never leave anywhere without looking around. I look in the trash, I look in the leaves, I look in the windows. I'm always looking. I can sense them when they're around me. I don't want my children photographed! I don't like their pictures all over the place."
58. "I trust her instinctively. I have never ever seen her betray anyone. She is very loyal. But if あなた betray her, then watch out!"

60. "I really went back through a lot of the dark corridors of my life in this record"
61. "See, あなた have a difficult situation with me because of the celebrity thing. If I'm with a guy, he might be a talented and beautiful person but he basically becomes Mr Fucking Presley. Their whole identity just gets pummelled."
62. "David Cassidy when I was small and Leif Garret way back when. And I had posters of the Stray ネコ and Sid Vicious. I had a big crush on him. In fact, I think I had もっと見る of a crush on Gary Oldman as Sid Vicious then the actual guy himself. Gary Oldman may have 与えられた him much もっと見る character than he actually had."
63. "With a lot of hair and make-up then I'm possibly, remotely attractive. But it's rare. I don't think I'm ugly but I'm nothing particularly special. I'm not a yoga and health girl. I don't exercise that much and I eat crap and smoke and bite my nails."
64. "I still feel like a child. Like a kid. Even at 25, I thought I was dying. And being 30 will definitely make me feel like I'm no longer a baby."
65. "I don't think I sound like anybody. I hear what everybody's saying, that I sound like Cher または Sheryl Crow. But it's the lower register. I don't think people know what to do with it.
