Tragedy plus time equals humor.

I'll always be best known as Marie Osmond, but in my checking account and at home, I will gladly be Marie Craig.

I learned a great lesson from my mother on her deathbed. She counseled me on the importance of taking care of myself so I wouldn't end up in an unhealthy body like she did.

I feel blessed - I am a woman who has been able to work in the entertainment business for five decades. I don't want to age, but I would never take back a year for the wisdom I've gained in that time.

My mother has always been my role model, and I believe my survival in the entertainment business is in large part due to my desire to be a strong woman like my mother. She is my hero.

The good Lord made us all out of iron. Then he turns up the heat to forge some of us into steel.

I found for me that my safe place was work. I could control my environment. I became very fastidious and detailed, and wanted things a certain way.
