For the last time, you cannot wear that cropped fleece vest

The old fairy tales are very, very violent, and these days I think we could do with a little less of it.

I hate the word wholesome.

I've learned a lot of things about myself through singing. I used to have a certain dislike of the audience, not as individual people, but as a giant body who was judging me. Of course, it wasn`t really them judging me. It was me judging me. Once I got past that fear, it freed me up, not just when I was performing but in other parts of my life.

Be a part of all that is decent and be an ambassador for the kind of world that you want to live in.

I don't think I have the image that say, Judy Garland has, or Bette Davis.

Leave every place you go, everything you touch, a little better for your having been there.
