My mother always wanted to be in show business, but her parents discouraged her. So when I started performing for the mirror she enrolled me in dancing, singing and piano lessons.

I'll be gray by the time I'm 30, but I like my hair. It looks shiny. I like the way it looks when those highlights are picked up on camera.

That first apartment was a big step. It has a lot to do with being independent.

I have a pleasant voice, but I have no great range. I will say that I know how to make a song come alive and I guess I do have a sincerity that comes across. But I do alot of things better than sing.

I liked performing, but not the struggle.

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

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