I've been in love with audiences all my life, and I've tried to please. I hope I did.

To let a fool kiss you is bad...To let a kiss fool you is worse. 'Twas not my lips you kissed but my soul.

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

For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.

My life, my career has been like a roller coaster. I've either been an enormous success or just a down-and-out failure.

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.

Behind every cloud is another cloud.
