People who know me well, call me Elizabeth. I dislike Liz.

I've been through it all, baby, I'm mother courage.

I've always preferred animals to little girls or boys. I had my first horse - actually it was a Newfoundland pony - when I was three, and I loved riding, without anyone shackling me - riding bareback as fast as I could.

What is a genius? What is a living legend? What is a megastar? Michael Jackson -- that's all. And when you think you know him, he gives you more. I think he is one of the finest people to hit this planet, and, in my estimation, he is the true King of Pop, Rock and Soul.

The beauty of fragrance is that it speaks to your heart and hopefully someone else's.

I don't have a set pattern. I take things as they come. Usually with a great amount of relish. I just lay back and wait for it to happen. And it usually does.

When you're older, you'll appreciate the advantages of sleeping alone.
