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.
I have never been accepted. I'll never make the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They're never going to let me in.
I wasn't allowed to grow as an artist. My albums were nicer to look at than to listen to.
I was a star in Italy, Austrailia, Germany and Japan before the American stations ever paid attention at all.
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.
Dad really had little to do with the songs, except to perform them.
I think most people are aware of the garbage in the tabloids and don't give them a lot of credence.
The one hit song that I have tremendous gratitude for is Boots, because it has a life of its own. It's like being identified with a brand name.
I was at a party three weeks prior to the murders at Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate's house.
I am the daughter of the Chairman of the Board and thus, was raised with great music.
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.
After things started to happen here, my choice of material was extremely limited. It was a weird situation.
Frank's audience doesn't care if a girl singer, a comic or an organ grinder with a monkey opens the show. They are there to see HIM.
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.
I didn't just want to be Frank's daughter who sang Boots. I take my music very seriously and studied very hard. It's not a joke to me.
I think I've finally proven something to people who were cynical about me. Because they were cruel.
I was singing about six notes higher than I had to, in a range that kept me up in a bubblegum sound.
I was successful with mediocre material because of a good recording voice that people really liked at that time.
It would be nice to be on the charts again, nice to be recognised.
Morrissey wrote a really gorgeous song for me. I'm crazy for that man. And he thinks I'm hip!
