Chrissie Hynde

When I hear myself singing, I hear Iggy Pop and Jimi Hendrix. There's a conversational thing going on. I suppose it depends on which The Pretenders song you're listening to.

I don't think it's good to be sentimental, so I try not to be.

I don't know any guitar player, any of the real greats, who don't rate Joni Mitchell up there with the best of them.

I love Hindi films.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

I always tell my kids that as soon as you have a secret, something about you that you are ashamed to have others find out, you have given other people the power to hurt you by exposing you.
