My feeling about young people who want to pursue a career is - the first thing is do your homework on where it all started. Go back and look at history. Look at why the shows you are loving today happened and the artists you are listening to happened. And do your homework on history. Whether it's musical movies, musical plays, Broadway musical recordings - do your homework! And then, that way you will have an understanding of why, now, certain movies, certain plays, certain musicals are making some sort of sense.

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

Dodi got a lot of criticism when he began dating Princess Diana. No one seemed to think he was good enough for her.

When my mother signed at MGM, that was the only kind of contract you could sign. There was no such thing as an independent agent.

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

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

To me, being grown-up meant smoking cigarettes, drinking cocktails, and dressing up in high heels and glamourous outfits.
