I'm working my way toward divinity.

I believe that Judy Garland's artistry was so fine. I mean, when people say: 'oh, she brought so much of her life to her music', I don't really believe that. I believe that she didn't have to. She just was a moving human being. That was her gift.

While I was growing up, I believed I could do anything I could think of. So the challenge was always to keep thinking - to get to where I wanted to be and then to think of somewhere else to go.

Only two groups of people intimidate me absolutely: salespeople and the French.

I'm the last of the truly tacky women. I do trash with flash and sleaze with ease.

I celebrate everyone's religious holidays. if it's good enough for the righteous, it's good enough for the self-righteous, I always say.

Sometimes, when I wake up, my soul is in another city!
