The regrets of yesterday and the fear of tomorrow can kill you.

Now, having had this experience, I can't say really what they were looking for. I don't know their minds. But every time I see a reality show, it seems that the most entertaining parts on other reality shows are when they make their guests look foolish.

My mother was an artist and highly strung, whereas my father was much calmer.

I've got a good life, and I don't think anything can rock that anymore.

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.

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

My mother gave me my drive but my father gave me my dreams.
