I'm often called an old-fashioned modernist. But the modernists had the absurd idea that architecture could heal the world. That's impossible. And today nobody expects architects to have these grand visions any more.

It is impossible as impossible as to raise the dead to restore anything that has ever been great or beautiful in architecture. That which I have insisted upon as the life of the whole that spirit which is given only by the hand and eye of the workman can never be recalled.

I didn't make my first solo record until 1981 so I don't have any 60's or 70's recordings but I am working on a large boxed set called DUST to be released next year the 20th anniversary of my first solo record.

I was never jailed. The fact is that I was arrested but I went into a diversion programme and by that time I'd already begun working in what was called anger management. It was a painful and awful moment.

Men make angry music and it's called rock-and-roll women include anger in their vocabulary and suddenly they're angry and militant.

I cried when I found out I was a finalist I kind of went limp when they called my name. I felt like my spirit jumped out of my body and I was just flesh - it was just amazing.

I remember going for the first time to a place called The Roxy in New York because you can see people breakdancing there. That's the only reason I went! It's amazing kids are still doing that.

For the past 21 years I've been privileged to be part of an amazing organization called the International Women's Media Foundation.

The amazing thing now is that most of those so-called critics who were telling me to find my own voice seem to have lost theirs.

There is a film called 'A Separation.' If you see it playing go see it. It's beautiful. It's so well written and the acting is amazing. It's one of those films that you would love to be a part of.
