I think of myself as a girl from Brooklyn.

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

I do have friends that are Republicans, and we have very spirited conversations on a whole range of issues. I am often baffled by why they are Republicans, but I enjoy the dialogue and can move beyond politics to find common ground in my personal relationships.

You know, I can't remember my good reviews. I remember negative ones. They stay in my mind.

Art finds a way to be constructive. It becomes heat in cold places; it becomes light in dark places.

I was a personality before I became a person.

I'm tired of malicious articles slandering me.
