“It's funny. I'm 48, but I'm not - in the sense that I still feel as fresh as a 17-year-old entering into her life all over again, you know?”
“Liv's dad comes to Portland to visit. He flies up on his little plane and we spoil him and feed him and give him a dose of real life. We take his cellphone and hide it from him.”
“I know every Bowie song backward.”
“I always made sure that if I had to go and be a rock 'n' roll crazy person that Liv had that grounding foundation of my mother or my cousin. We tried to keep everything stable.”
“Just about every young model and actress is dating somebody in the entertainment field, because these are the people you meet. You're not going to very easily meet a normal person in this line of work.”
“Men from my generation are chauvinist pigs!”
“That's the way it was in New York City in the early Seventies, all the artists hung out together.”
“I don't think people should have an age. It's not really important. What's important is where you go and how you go.”
“Bowie would show up with one eyebrow, so we all shaved our eyebrows.”
“There was a difference between the rock 'n' roll royalty, the woman who was married to or dating a rock star and the girl that hung out and just wanted sex.”
“I wasn't lucky enough to find a Chris Stein like Debbie Harry did. I was with Todd Rundgren... He was the star, I was the decoration.”
“What Kim Kardashian has done with her family and brand is brilliant!”
“I was a very independent, successful girl. I made my own money, I bought my own airline tickets. When I got a paycheck, I went to Bergdorf and I bought my own clothes. There were no rock stars buying me my clothes.”
“Parents should live for their children, not through them.”
“I guess I was pretty hot.”
“I'm not a corporate machine. I'm not Lady Gaga, I'm not Madonna, I don't have a million dollars behind me and big giant record companies. I am an organic artist.”
“When I was a kid I was teaching the other kids how to dance the 'Dirty Dog.'”
“I don't limit myself. I think that's what this lifestyle allows for you - freedom to sort of do more than the average housewife. The average housewife can't pack up with her husband and go off to Europe for a tour, 'cause usually the average housewife's husband won't let her go.”
“I'm remembered as a model who dated a rock star or 10, among them Steven Tyler, Todd Rundgren, David Bowie, Elvis Costello, Iggy Pop, Jimmy Page, and Rod Stewart.”
“I was dangerous and damn good-looking.”
