Living your life the way you want to live it is the most important thing so if you have to pay small prices along the way, it's not important.
It was always 'Cher', I never thought of myself as anything but 'Cher'.
In my personal life I'm not very tough at all, but in my professional life, having to deal with being a woman in a man's world, I'm really tough. I never back down from a fight or an argument. I'm willing to stand there toe to toe with anyone.
I'm the female equivalent of a counterfeit $20 bill. Half of what you see is a pretty good reproduction, the rest is a fraud.
I'm not gonna become Ann Bancroft or Meryl Streep and have all the burden that being a "serious actress" entails.
I'm not a role model, nor have I ever tried to be a role model. The only thing about me as a role model is I've managed to stay here and be working and survive. For 40 years.
I'm like a bumper car. When I did an infomercial I was fodder for every TV comedy show. I couldn't get a job. People said I was a huge joke. I've been a joke so many times. I've been on my way out since I started, but I'm strong-willed. My mother is so much tougher than I am and my grandmother is so much tougher than my mother.
Elvis was the first person in music that I really identified with.
I've had so many rebirths, I should come with my own midwife by now.
I love ghosts; I prefer ghosts to some people.
I went through absolute stress and mayhem. I couldn't go out, because people were constantly on my back all the time.
I never read in school. I got really bad grades-D's and F's and C's in some classes, and A's and B's in other classes. In the second week of the 11th grade, I just quit. When I was in school, it was really difficult. Almost everything I learned, I had to learn by listening. My report cards always said that I was not living up to my potential.
You don't have to be smart to act - look at the outgoing president of the United States.
