We're phonies if we're not exactly who we are.

If people think I'm a dumb blonde, because of the way I look, then they're dumber than they think I am. If people think I'm not very deep because of my wigs and outfits, then they're not very deep.

You can't really make people be any different than what they are.

I wear make-up, and it gets a little bit thicker every year.

In fact, I bought our first family television with my own money, putting it on credit and then paying it off every week.

It doesn't bother me when someone calls me a 'dumb blonde.' I'm neither dumb or blonde.

The world is my stage. I try to be good at it, whatever part I'm playing - even in my daily life or when the spotlight hits me on the stage to perform - I gotta be alive every second in this world. With or without the applause!
