I won't be able to do what I'm doing forever. There aren't that many scripts floating around for fifty-year-old chicks.

I really don't think of myself as a singer. I think of myself as an entertainer, and the best place I do it is onstage.

If grass can grow through cement, love can find you at every time in your life.

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.

It's a dirty job being ridiculous, but I'll do it

You can't just sit around and watch life pass you by. You have to keep dreaming. Sonny taught me that, and I intend to do him proud.

I'm from a Gypsy background!
