More on Family
“I think when I came into marriage -- especially when you've had divorced parents like myself... You'd want to try even harder to make it work and you don't want to fall back into a pattern that you've seen happen in your own family. I desperately want it to work; I desperately love my husband and I wanted to share everything together. And I thought that we were a very good team.”
“My father must have had some elementary education for he could read and write and keep accounts inaccurately”
“I grew up in a confused house: too much unwanted attention or none at all.”
More on Illness
“I've had this terrible stomach problem for years, and that has made touring difficult. People would see me sitting in the corner by myself looking sick and gloomy. The reason is that I was trying to fight against the stomach pain, trying to hold my food down. People looked me and assumed I was some kind of addict.”
“I am strongly convinced that not only too much consciousness but even any consciousness at all is a sickness.”
“No boxer in the history of boxing has had Parkinson's. There's no injury in my brain that suggests that the illness came from boxing.”
