• I call her Wild Woman, for those very words, wild and woman, create llamar o tocar a la puerta, the fairy-tale knock at the door of the deep feminine psyche. Llamar o tocar a la puerta means literally to play upon the instrument of the name in order to open a door. It means using words that summon up the opening of a passageway. No matter by which culture a woman is influenced, she understands the words wild and woman, intuitively.

• We are all filled with a longing for the wild. There are few culturally sanctioned antidotes for this yearning. We were taught to feel shame for such a desire. We grew our hair long and used it to hide our feelings. But the shadow of Wild Woman still lurks behind us during our days and in our nights. No matter where we are, the shadow that trots behind us is definitely four-footed.

• I remember thinking that Janis Joplin sang like Mae West talked. When I
  first heard the primal scream in 'Piece Of My Heart,' I was hooked. 'Cheap
  Thrills,' Janis 'Live' with Big Brother And The Holding Company, was one of
  my all time faves. During the 'whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa's' in 'Combination Of
  Two,' I couldn't help but go to the mirror and pretend I was a wild woman
  like Janis, in a rock band.
