If I hear a record once, I usually never listen to it again. I rarely listen to music - unless it's Billie Holiday.

I like to stay home a lot. I like to do other things, too, like decorate.

Being a woman in music was fine, but when I wanted to direct, I was poking my head into a man's world.

A man who graduated high in his class at Yale Law School and made partnership in a top law firm would be celebrated. But a woman who accomplishes this is treated with suspicion.

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

Success to me is having ten honeydew melons and eating only the top half of each slice.

You have got to discover you, what you do, and trust it.
