I'm not scared of dyin' and I don't really care if it's peace you find in dyin' well then let the time be near. And when I die and when I'm gone there'll be one child born and a world to carry on.

I remember being a very young teenager, listening on my little record player to Curtis Mayfield's songs with the Impressions for hours and days and weeks and months and years. I used to find a lot of comfort in his music.

The 60's started spinning into a whirlwind, and outside of some recognition for my music, I felt like I was living inside a hurricane. My rhythm in life was free-spirited, and then it changed.

If I'm very drawn to something and if I can't resist it, I get it.

Mockery is fashionable today but I think a lot of the things I write about are what a lot of people feel.

It doesn't thrill me that half of my records are out of print.

Sometimes I feel like I belong in another profession.

It was quite amazing that we came out of it alive.

Mother's Spiritual was a wonderful idea that flew through my head in a minute and then took years to manifest. The responsibilities that were inspiring the music were also pulling me away from it in terms of time.

Rickie Lee Jones is a really swinging musician.

A lot of my songs are very serious, I'm like dead serious about certain things and I feel that I'm writing about the world, through my own eyes.

As beautiful as simplicity is, it can become a tradition that stands in the way of exploration.

My jazz background put certain inflections in my writing and singing. Throw in all the poetry I'd read since I was a kid, and that's what made my songs complex and emotionally rich.

Often, when I was out working, it wasn't a big media thing. I've noticed that people don't know how much I've been singing over the years.

Even today sometimes someone can call me eccentric, but what does it really mean? Sometimes you can mean it in a gentle way and sometimes it's a put-down.

I remember sitting at a piano and hearing the notes and the chords ring out in the air, and I knew there was something special in that sound, some kind of freedom.

I wanted to learn more. I took freedoms with the principles of composition. I used dark chord structures, suspended chords, advanced dissonance-all within the same song.

If, as an artist, I feel true to one thing and I'm being asked to give that up to do something else, that doesn't work.

I love poetry and I love painting.

I don't think you should categorize yourself as an artist.
