I could see myself in a white nurse's uniform, working unnoticed for many years and at last dying, unknown, unmarried and unsung.

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 am harder on myself than anyone else could be.

This nation loves singing and loves acting.

Middle-aged women have greater stability, they are more loyal, and their capacity for steady work is greater than that of younger women.

An entertainer should in his public performance keep himself out of any controversy, political or otherwise.
