But God really did bless me, you know? He really said, All right. Come on. I'm still waiting for you. Get over here. Get over here.

Anything is possible in this world. I really believe that.

You have to work hard for it, but first you have to want it, and then you have to dream on it.

I am deeply saddened by the death of my dear friend, Dudley Moore.

In Hollywood now when people die they don't say, 'Did he leave a will?' but 'Did he leave a diary?'

It was like Mama suddenly realized I was good, that she didn't have to apologize for me. It was the strangest feeling. One minute I was on stage with my mother, the next moment I was on stage with Judy Garland. One minute she smiled at me, and the next minute she was like the lioness that owned the stage and suddenly found somebody invading her territory. The killer instinct of a performer had come out in her.

She raised us with humor, and she raised us to understand that not everything was going to be great-but how to laugh through it.
