My mother was very involved with me. And we had a dialogue constantly. And it was like an umbilical cord. As long as the words were flowing back and forth we were connected and feeding each other. And I probably grew up very afraid of losing that connection.

I don't think there's one thing I've ever said on the radio that would have been found indecent or obscene.

I think people of lesser talent will become stars.

I'm sure some people might be offended by that, but this is my feeling about show business. It's not all about pure talent. There are certain people who command a stage because they look good ,like me.

I'm sickened by all religions. Religion has divided people. I don't think there's any difference between the pope wearing a large hat and parading around with a smoking purse and an African painting his face white and praying to a rock.

I can't imagine the biggest blow to me was that marriage not working out. That just flipped me out.

I seem to be some sort of lightning rod. I just really irritate people, you know? I really do.
