As a child, I had to get up early for school or work. I'd get ready by myself. I'd set my alarm to wake me up very early in the morning, and be off to work, the family driver driving me every morning. I did it alone, my parents never coming in to wake me up.

When I finally make up my mind that I want to do something, it's never been hard for me to do.

You get used to working with one choreographer. You kind of get stuck in that vein and you work your way out of it, picking up someone else's style, their flavor. It takes a bit of time.

That's what I think I am: a lot of fun - a lot of fun to be with.

I still have certain goals that I want. Grammies... Other awards... an Oscar one day.

I'm just trying to get used to living on a fixed income. Now, it's going to get unfixed.

People tend to put entertainers on pedestals. We're human beings, just like you. You may see us smiling, and whether we have money or not, we still have bills to pay, we still have our stresses. I think a lot of people want to focus on others' shortcomings to make themselves feel better. And it's a very sad thing.
