I've got a Grammy and Emmy, I'd like to have a Tony.

My career never went like anyone else’s, so I never followed anyone.

Somebody did complain to me and tell me that my clothes were so loud they couldn't hear me sing.

I can't judge the way other people behave. I can only look at myself.

You know, I do speak the Queens English. It's just the wrong Queens that's all. It's over the 59th Street Bridge. It's not over the Atlantic Ocean.

The '80s was a really creative and brave period. Remember, it was a period of ultraconservatism, and so you needed brave people to push ahead like that.

God has more important things to worry about than who I sleep with.
