I think that two people who decide to live together in a marriage situation, they have an obligation to make the marriage work for them.

If you tell people your ambitions, they usually laugh at you. When I told my girlfriends when I was 12 that I was going to Hollywood, they all laughed. And here I am!

I am strong, I am invincible, I am woman.

I couldn't do anything. I'd work in a department store for a couple of weeks, but I couldn't hack it. I couldn't even type! I had no skills whatsoever outside of show business.

I always believed that I could make it or I would never have spent so many years trying to get here.

If I have to, I can do anything.

My audience are the same people who bought my albums years ago. These people are now married, with their own homes, their own families. If I'm in concert, I get people now who bring their kids.
