I never thought I'd write, because I'd never written anything in my whole life.

I just thought that I was going to get to sing for a living and I wouldn't have to go to work in the department store or whatever else you did if you were a woman in those days.

I dont think you can look for love. All you can do is get yourself in a situation where you dont discourage something that may be rather nice.

People don't realize that by voting Republican, they voted against themselves....I worry that some people are entertained by the idea of this war. They don't know anything about the Iraqis, but they're angry and frustrated in their own lives. It's like Germany, before Hitler took over. The economy was bad and people felt kicked around. They looked for a scapegoat. Now we've got a new bunch of Hitlers.

I believe in the empirical wisdom of science, just to start with, so I hope that there might be some treatment out there that might be helpful.

I can sing better after shooting smack in both arms than after eating too much.

I can't sing half as well as Claudia Lennear. Hats off to her, but somehow, things happened for me.
