At first all I wanted to be was famous; then I realized that fame had nothing to do with talent. I felt that I didn't do anything quite well enough, that I was one of those people who was famous but not very talented. So I said, okay, I'll be the Dinah Shore of the Seventies, on TV all the time but nobody quite knows why.

People are negative no matter what you do.

Unless you're willing to look a little foolish, forget the possibility of becoming great.

If you really want something you can figure out how to make it happen.

I'm the female equivalent of a counterfeit $20 bill. Half of what you see is a pretty good reproduction, the rest is a fraud.

Sometimes you have to show a little skin. This reminds boys of being naked, and then they think of sex.

I can trust my friends... these people force me to examine myself, encourage me to grow.
