I've learned that nobody's perfect, and I don't expect myself to be perfect anymore.

I remember being onstage once when I didn't have fear: I got so scared I didn't have fear that it brought on an anxiety attack.

We are in this period now where we all are trying to be in shape physically and deny ourselves any pleasure.

My father was a classical pianist, and my mother was a singer of just about everything.

The advancements that women have made are very threatening to men in the job place. There haven't been that many women in politics. If you look at the conventions, it's kind of pathetic how many men are the heads of companies. On the other hand, I'm not sure what the reality should be.

Then I went through a big Peggy Lee stage, then I became Annie Ross, then Judy Collins.

You usually can't tell what's inspiring until you look back on it.
