I used to sing with my father's jazz band and then when I was ten years old a musician friend of his suggested that I try out for the first west coast production of Annie.

When you say you're 40, you can't call yourself an ingenue any more.

The moment you make someone promise anything is the same moment you ask them to lie to you.

From my experience, forgiving is the only way to survive.

Whatever it is that gives you that confidence will vary from person to person, but I do believe that it is the key to succeeding at anything in life - career, relationships, anything.

When I was turning 40, I felt that there were no books out there that hit the spot in terms of what I wanted to read.

Originally I considered myself a singer.
