I choose not to think of my life as surviving, but coping.

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

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.

I'm extraordinarily honored and proud when I am told that I am part of the Broadway community and part of the Broadway family. Because, Broadway is a family. And it doesn't matter if you did one show or if you did fifty shows.

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

I spent an entire evening seated between Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly, being charmed from either side. It was pure Hollywood magic.

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