My mom was a phoenix who always expected to rise again from the ashes of her latest disaster... She loved being Judy Garland.

I did my first Broadway show when I was nineteen years old - and to be able to say that I am still working with the incredible talents of all of the creative teams that I have been able to work with - that's so special to me.

One of the oddities about being Judy Garland's daughter was that everyone treated my mother with such awe that they would never have asked me the normal questions kids get about their moms.

The sicker mother got, the stranger the people surrounding her became. I called them The Garland Freaks.

Maybe people don't know I'm a news junkie? I watch and I tape a breadth of everything that's happening in the world, and that fascinates me.

There are some family traditions I don't want my children to carry on.

When I got a call from Los Angeles to do the Tonight Show, I considered it more of an inconvenience than an opportunity.
