I'm really lucky, I have my performing career so I can continue to do personal appearances. Most actors have to do a film. But I thought I would wait until I found something I really liked.A lot of my friends feel that I'm wrong to wait. They say I should have done My Bodyguard, but I don't think so. I think I've been right.

The first time I heard a Billie Holiday record, I thought, 'What's so great about Billie Holiday?'

I really think I want to live in a lot of places.I don't want possessions to hold me down.

I know that my fans want to know who I'm sleeping with, but it's really none of their business.

I would like to enjoy my life a little bit more so I can really have more fun, but my work is my fun.

I use Jimmy Galanos gowns for real special occasions and things - television, special occasions where I know I'm being filmed. But I never really wear his gowns on stage. My stage gowns are more costumey. There's different levels of things that I wear.I would never wear my stage gowns to a party.

It seems like I don't have a lot of time for all the things I need to do. I'm spreading myself fairly thin. I have responsibilities to my children. I have a big staff that works for me. And when you have a staff, and I'm sure you know this, you're always concerned with everybody's life all the time.
