I had no idea of being a star, all I knew was that I wanted to be a great actress, I wanted to work as an actress. So I thought the way I would be a great actress was to sing and dance first. Lay a foundation - get my foot in the door, and then undoubtedly, of course, I would be offered great roles as soon as I grew up enough to handle them.

The old forms of entertainment are not extinct. Live performances are the pinnacle. If you can something that people want to see live, then you have a great career.

I never know how much of what I say is true.

Romance is an illusion. Well, romance is not a complete illusion, but it's ephemeral. It does not last.

You can feel compassion for others without feeling victimized yourself.

If you can accept your differentness and learn to love it and encourage it, then you can be someone wonderful.

I was brought up on rock-'n'-roll. It was sort of funny because I couldn't get interested in anything else - I tried and tried but I couldn't get into science...or mathematics, I just cut myself off from anything else there was to get interested in.
