In my case, things have pretty much been handed to me

I'll admit - I was honored to be on the cover of Time

Always give them the old fire, even when you feel like a squashed cake of ice.

I have plenty of invitations to go places, lots to do. If I'm not working, I go to have my hair taken care of and work at needlepoint

I can hold a note as long as the Chase National Bank.

My father taught me to read music and play the piano-but not well, even though people have said that I'm a natural musician

I take a breath when I have to.
