You usually can't tell what's inspiring until you look back on it.

I had this terrible stammer, so I couldn't really speak properly until I was 16 or 17.

There was a French singer, Francoise Hardy - I used to look at her pictures and try to dress like her.

My look was even more solidified when I started singing in Greenwich Village with my sister Lucy. We wore matching dresses as the Simon Sisters.

You're lucky you had that when you were 20. I sure didn't. I was overweight, and I had acne.

I try to get to those peculiar and particular things that you never think of to say.
