I am in prayer for his kids and the family.

All of a sudden I feel more womanly, I feel like I got a figure. I was always really straight up and down, the skinny one in the middle, like that poster at Elaine's of the Supremes at Lincoln Center - it was done by Joe Eula. To me that's really a reflection of the way I was. I was just like a bean pole. Now I'm getting a few curves and I like it.

I'd traveled a lot, was going temporarily insane and became very successful, but there was no one to take that all home to.

I spend too much money on my sets and my gowns. I think the presentation is important. I don't think people want to see the old show all the time.

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.

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.

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