Part of our society kills what it loves, despises what it's created. It really hates success.

It's very often the artist who gives a voice to the voiceless by speaking up when no one else will.

Thank God there were a couple of people in my life who said, "Go on, go on - you can do it!

I just became a singer, because I could never get work as an actress.

I never liked stardom. It's weird to me. I only like the creative process. I only like the work.

I only began to sing because I couldn't get a job as an actress.

I always wear the same thing at home. I can't be bothered with jewelry. My pants have elastic waists. I like to be comfortable. There are so many more important things to worry about.
