Cher<\/strong> may have been forced to look back on her life in order to write her upcoming memoir, but at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame over the weekend, she told reporters that her incredible success and longevity over six decades isn’t anything she’s spent a lot of time pondering.<\/p>\n

“I don’t have a perspective exactly. I just was busy living my life,” she said backstage at the induction ceremony on Oct. 19. “And so I wasn’t, like, thinking about it at all.”<\/p>\n

“I was, like, thinking about it from minute to minute, or thing to thing, or bad to good,” she continued.<\/p>\n

However, Cher’s many ups and downs during those six decades \u2014 such as her success with Sonny & Cher<\/strong>, going broke after her divorce from Sonny, motherhood,\u00a0TV and movie stardom, and a massive comeback with “Believe” \u2014 led her to use an interesting metaphor to describe how she’s moved through life.<\/p>\n

“I always thought of myself as, like, a bumper car,” she told reporters. “And when I hit a road, I would just back up and turn in a different direction because I wasn’t going to just stop doing what I love.”<\/p>\n

Cher’s book Cher: The Memoir, Part One<\/em>\u00a0arrives Nov. 19. She’s doing a book tour in support of it starting Nov. 20 in New York City. You can buy tickets<\/a> for it now.<\/p>\n
