“We can't be The Beatles. I can't shine their shoes. I can't sing as well as Paul or John. I can't write those kind of songs. But they would die in my armour and my eight-inch platform heels, and Paul can't spit fire, so there you have it.”

— Mojo magazine (December 2009), p. 40.

“Elvis is the king of rock and roll, who made white kids shake there shackle.”
