More From Janis Ian
- "‘Society’s Child’ was a real hard record to start with. That’s all you want is for you to put your first record out and have people screaming at you in the streets. But it taught me right away that what I was doing was valuable and important."
- "That’s an amazing moment, the first time you hear yourself on radio. It’s still thrilling."
- "I started ‘Society’s Child’ on a bus in East Orange as I was going home from school. I saw a black and white couple sitting there and started thinking about it."

- "There’s really no such thing as the agony of dying. I’m quite sure that pain is shut off at the moment of death. You see, something happens when the body knows it’s about to go. Peptide hormones are released by cells in the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. Endorphins. They attach themselves to the cells responsible for feeling pain."― Lewis Thomas
- "Beauty is one of the rare things which does not lead to doubt of God."― Jean Anouilh
- "Filipinos want beauty. I have to look beautiful so that the poor Filipinos will have a star to look at from their slums."― Imelda Marcos
