Belinda Carlisle

“Having Brian Wilson sing on my album was an unforgettable experience.”

“There should be a lot of bands like the Go-Go's out there, but there aren't.”

“To be able to drive a rickshaw legally, I had to get an international motorcycle license in L.A., which I have now.”

“I was like the good girl, bad girl, there were no grey areas for me.”

“Anything that I ever do is from the heart and authentic.”

“Sometimes you are at the mercy of record companies or publishing companies.”

“I just liked the idea of being engaged.”

“I've been blessed from the very beginning with the large gay audience, and I'm flattered. They always have the best taste anyways and are at the forefront of fashion, music, and style. So I'm really happy about that and very flattered. It's a good following to have because it means you're doing something right.”

“I've always known I could write. I have an ear for production and melody. It was just that, in those early years, I let everyone do it for me. To be honest, I was a little lazy!”

“You never know what goes on behind closed doors.”

“I do a lot of solo work in Europe and the Far East, and my main passion is traveling.”

“Since I was a young girl in the punk scene, almost all of my friends have been gay or lesbian, so for me, it's an obvious answer when it comes to whether or not gay people should be recognized as equal.”

“I've got a great family, great career, great friends, and a lot of passions, which make my life interesting and fulfilling every day.”
