The one thing I never questioned about my mother was whether she loved me.

When you're Judy Garland and you want something, you just pick up the phone and call somebody. Anybody.

My mother's life had been destroyed by the Garland legend.

I have spent much of my adult life flinching with pain as I tried to pull out the threads that bound the shadows of my past to me.

I understand wanting to do your craft. I understand wanting to have a passion for your art and for your ability to be an actor, to be a singer, to be a dancer - that I understand. Wanting to be famous - I don't get that. But that's where we're living right now.

A star needs all the rest she can get.

I don't like to hear anybody in show business complain, because I just find it to be such a grateful business. Because there are so many wonderful, creative souls out there and there are so few jobs. And, so, I just find myself thinking to myself "wow, if I could get into a show of any kind and have it last for a while" - that's when I find myself really happy.
