I don't care about vacations. I go away and I come back real quick because I like my work. I really like my work to consume me.

I want to live in Paris for a couple of years. I'm dying to do the Josephine Baker story. I really want to be there and do it. It's certainly my intention to do it.

I'm a parent, and I try to take care of my health and keep my life in order. In the last few years I've really had to decide what's important to me, and it seems to me that my family and my health are top on the list. And those have nothing to do with show business.

Instead of looking at the past, I put myself ahead twenty years and try to look at what I need to do now in order to get there then.

My life has often been described as 'from rags to riches' but in fact, the Ross's were never raggedy.

I think that if my voice for some reason changes - because your voice does change - then it's time for me not to sing.

It's easier for me to sit with the producers and the writers and I give them my feelings and my thoughts and what I think I feel like singing about and then they go away and write it.
