There's no disgrace in failure, the disgrace is not to try.

I grew up in a sport that didn't allow you to grow up. There was always the threat of younger competition. So you had to maintain the image of youth.

I have three dogs and a cockatoo.

Seeing the show is like a visit to the fountain of youth for parents and the children.

The thing I received from Girl Scouts more than anything else was a sense of real teamwork and working for the community, helping others, and it was not competitive. I remember working as a group to achieve a goal or to help the community. There was a great sense of accomplishment in that.

Flying is such a joy. You just want to hoot.

An athlete learns how to hold her breath, but that doesn't work in singing. You have to learn to relax.
