It took me a year to really learn the American lingo. I really feel for people who are coming here and don't speak English at all. It must be hell.

I worked with my parents on the stage in production numbers since I was 4, but I never really gave much thought to being a performer on my own until I was 12 or 13.

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.

If I have to, I can do anything.

I was very strongly influenced by women's magazines and I really believed tha a woman could not be married and raise a family and have a successful career all at the same time.

Stop living a day at a time and stop worrying about age.

I like music to soothe me.
