Have I ever been the shy retiring type? Never. Not since the day I was born.

I was the one who taught my sister and my niece how to walk in high heels.

When I go to Florida for Christmas I always take my nieces and nephews out on excursions, ... I become like a big kid again. We go on all the big rides at the theme parks or I stick them in go-karts where their feet can't quite reach the pedals. I think that if you can continue to have the child at heart you may grow old physically but you will stay young mentally.

What I can say that's different in American television… in Britain, they wouldn't cancel something after a couple of episodes. In the States they would. They would just decide it's not working, take it off and put something else in on the fall schedule.

My first professional job was actually at a place called Opryland USA, which no longer exists, but I've been performing since I was a kid.

I would love to lecture to women on men. I'd tell them everything about men: gay, straight, bi, how we're all the same, how we're all bastards.

I've always thought people would find a lot more pleasure in their routines if they burst into song at significant moments.
