Being beautiful is not so fun when you're in a business with all men.

If you don't feel safe as a child, you can't learn.

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.

I would rather die than have my fans see me without a pair of heels on. And that's show business.

I feel that if I can show my demise artistically to the public, I can somehow cure my own legend.

I want you to feel happy and enjoy the theatre of my life the way that I do. No matter what happens with my music and wherever I go - that heart of that glamorous girl in New York will never be gone.

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