I could not separate myself off stage from myself on stage, as so many actors can.
I am harder on myself than anyone else could be.
I was always daydreaming about singing in big productions on Broadway.
I vowed that whenever my family needed me, I would give up everything to go to them, no matter what. The show must go on was meaningless to me.
I must work hard to make my singing above reproach; there must be no faults which hard work would take care of.
I know I'm fat and I know my hair is straight, but I can sing.
