I dropped out of NYU moved out of my parent's house got my own place and survived on my own. I made music and worked my way from the bottom up.

The bass no matter what kind of music you're playing it just enhances the sound and makes everything sound more beautiful and full. When the bass stops the bottom kind of drops out of everything.

What's that line from TS Eliot? To arrive at the place where you started but to know it for the first time. I'm able to write about a breakup from a different place. Same brokenness. Same rock-bottom. But a little more informed now I'm older. Thank God for growing up.

There is a fundamental situation in which the country has reached rock bottom that a mother can't send her children out of the house in the morning. The country has reached rock bottom and this needs to be changed.

The bottom line is I'm blessed with good health. On top of that I don't go around thinking 'Oh I'm 90 I better do this or I better do that.' I'm just Betty. I'm the same Betty that I've always been. Take it or leave it.
