My [singing] style really has no style, because I try to sing each number differently. I’ve always believed that if style takes precedent over the words and music, the audience get’s cheated. It’s like when people see a fine play or movie. They imagine themselves in the leading role. I want them to imagine that they’re singing - not just listening to someone else.

I was born in a lovely white house with a garden.

In the silence of night I have often wished for just a few words of love from one man, rather than the applause of thousands of people.

Give the people what they want and then go have a hamburger.

People en masse have always been wonderful to me. I truly have a great love for an audience...I want to give them two hours of just pow.

I'm the original take-orders girl.

I've never looked through a keyhole without finding someone was looking back.
