Real success is not being on the cover of a magazine it's knowing that you've done, and enjoyed doing, what you set out to do.
Chrissie Hynde
I just want to be as regular, and get by with doing the least amount of publicity, but still look really cool, you know? And get a bit of respect.
Chrissie Hynde
I'm not going to judge what I do.
