I was at a party three weeks prior to the murders at Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate's house.
His last 2 shows in the U.S. were in Chicago and St. Louis. I don't know what made me go on the trip with him, but I'm so very glad I did. They were two of the finest concerts I've ever seen.
It would be nice to be on the charts again, nice to be recognised.
I think I've finally proven something to people who were cynical about me. Because they were cruel.
I wanted to travel with my dad to be close to him again. Having babies and raising my own family took so much of my time, I didn't have a chance to be with him very often.
After 50, the rock 'n' roll road is a little absurd. It's very difficult to play these little places. You're out there on a rickety old bus with no place to shower.
Then all of a sudden, Quentin Tarantino comes along and puts a song from 40 years ago in one of his films and they've suddenly discovered you. That was a real gift that Quentin gave me.
Morrissey wrote to me and said, I have a song for you and if we release it as a single, you'll be on the charts for the first time since 1972, I said, what time, where?
There are a lot of people who would laugh at the idea of me being a good singer.
I have never been accepted. I'll never make the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They're never going to let me in.
