Instead of joyfully looking forward to my birth, my mother began systematically preparing for her own death. She was fatalistic.

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.

People come up to me as I leave the stage after a performance and tell me tey saw my mother onstage with me every time I sing. I keep a sense of humor about it.

Liza is in the tabloids almost as much as our mother was. She has struggled with her own ghosts and shadows.

A star needs all the rest she can get.

When your parent is a public idol, you never really have a chance to lay that parent to rest.

I think every show I do, whether I am doing eight shows a week of a Broadway show... I think, "that's a show I'll never get back"... I go home at night and I think to myself, "that was my favorite".
