Birds fly over the rainbow. Why then, oh, why can't I?

Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue, and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.

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.

He gave me a look at myself I've never had before. He saw something in me nobody else ever did. He made me see it too. He made me believe it.

You are never so alone as when you are ill on stage. The most nightmarish feeling in the world is suddenly to feel like throwing up in front of four thousand people.

I think there's something peculiar about me that I haven't died. It doesn't make sense but I refuse to die.

When you have lived the life I've lived, when you've loved and suffered, and been madly happy and desperately sad -- well, that's when you realize you'll never be able to set it all down. Maybe you'd rather die first.
