I don't like my voice that much. I think I'm a much better actress than singer. Singing is like going to a party at someone else's house. Acting is like having the party at your own house. When you go to someone else's house for a party, it's not your responsibility at all, but when you have the party at your own house, there's a lot of responsibility. Everyone has to have a good time. So for me, acting is deeper.

Elvis was the first person in music that I really identified with.

I'm still friends with all my exes, apart from my husbands.

Meryl Streep is an acting machine in the same sense that a shark is a killing machine.

If you are going to wait for someone to encourage you to do something, you just better give up.

I don't need a man. But I'm happier with one. I like to have someone I can touch and squeeze and kiss. But I don't fold up and die if I don't have a man around.

I haven't a clue why I've lasted so long. There's no reason. There are many people more talented than me. I think it's luck.
