I am a woman of theatre, I'm a librarian of theatre and I love all different kinds of music and all different kinds of expressions.

When I say to you, there is nobody like me, and there never was, that is a statement I want every woman to feel and make about themselves.

My fashion is part of who I am, and though I was not born with these clothes on, I was born this way.

Peace. it does not mean to be in a place where there is no trouble, noise, or hard work. it means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart

I wouldn't say that I am one of the greatest dancers, but I am really quite good at what I do.

The way that I sing, what I sing about, what I wear, who I am, this is me. I was born this way.

I got a job when I was 15 because my allowance was about $20 a week which in New York was impossible. So I used to waitress across the street from where I grew up.
