Twenty-seven people sang 'Wind Beneath My Wings' before I got around to it. A lot of people saw the movie that I sang it in, Beaches, and what they came away with was that song. They turned to their loved ones and said, 'You know, you are the wind beneath my wings!' The song expressed how they felt in a way a simple 'I love you' would not have.

Enough about me. What do you think about me?

I have my standards. They're low, but I have them.

When it's time to shuffle off this mortal coil, you leave your ashes to be composted.

I'd make a wonderful Lady Macbeth. I'll wear a pair of platform shoes or something.

I married a German. Every night I dress up as Poland and he invades me.

It is true that in this culture, they throw you out when you get older. I see it all the time, especially in my business. At my age, you're playing somebody's mother - and there aren't even a lot of those roles!
