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 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.
The only thing in the world you can change is yourself and that makes all the difference in the world.
Don't buy into the idea that women aren't strong enough to do anything they want on their own.
Singing is like going to a party at someone else's house. Acting is like having the party at your house.
I remember a great America where we made everything. There was a time when the only thing you got from Japan was a really bad cheap transistor radio that some aunt gave you for Christmas.
There is only one value to having the look you have when you are young and no value to the look you have when you are older.
Yes, it's a man's world, but that's all right because they're making a total mess of it. We're chipping away at their control, taking the parts we want. Some women think it's a difficult task, but it's not.
I've been up and down so many times that I feel as if I'm in a revolving door.
It's a dirty job being ridiculous, but I'll do it
I'm going to have wrinkles really soon
