I refuse to let anybody try to typecast me. It's against my nature. I like to continually do different things.

I knew early in life that I wanted a show business career.

I don't mean to sound immodest, but I never had any doubt that I'd be successful, nor any fear of success. I was raised as a little goddess who was told she would be a star.

When I act, I act. When I sing, I sing. I don't put one over the other. Entertaining is what I do best.

I'll never be that trusting again, believing accountants and lawyers have my best interests at heart.

It got to a point of where it was ruining my health and I just hated it. I hated doing it and I couldn't stop without some kind of help to get the longing for it out of my system.

This has been a long and tiring battle for 10 years. And I'm glad it's finally resolved. My principles and reputation as a creative artist were involved here-it wasn't just about the royalties. I can now look foward to getting on with my career.
