We toured in a Lear jet and that's the only way to fly, baby! Success is a bubble, though, and we knew the wonderful time we were having couldn't possibly last.

Cass gained a lot of strength from her public. Once she was a star, she wasn't afraid of anybody, and certainly not me.

She taught me a lot about feminism, and she always encouraged me, although I was obviously inferior to her as a singer.
