There have been times when I have deliberately tried to take my life... I think I must have been crying for some attention.

I've always taken 'The Wizard of Oz' very seriously, you know. I believe in the idea of the rainbow. And I've spent my entire life trying to get over it.

If I am a legend, then why am I so lonely?

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.

Soon the sun beams will smile through. Before you jump out of that bed, just know, the thought of you was the first thing that hit my head. Good morning my darling.

I can live without money, but I cannot live without love.

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.
