Directing is so interesting. You know, it just sort of encompasses everything that you see, that you know, that you've felt, that you have observed.

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

I was a personality before I became a person - I am simple, complex, generous, selfish, unattractive, beautiful, lazy and driven.

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

A large part of me is pure nebbish - plain, dull, uninteresting. There's a more flamboyant part, too. Obviously.

I was a personality before I became a person.

If a man wants to get it right, he's looked up to and respected. If a woman wants to get it right, she's difficult or impossible. If he acts, produces and directs, he's called multitalented. If she does the same thing, she's called vain and egotistical.
