My aunt, or whoever it was, who brought me from the South, would have killed me, because she didn't like anything like that. The only thing she liked was a concert pianist. Which is marvelous; I wish I'd studied piano.
I'm in and out of all the areas of the business. But of course the main thing is singing and acting.
The one thing I always knew about my mother was that she always loved me, ... And I give her tremendous credit for being able to, throughout our lives, let me know that she always loved me, and that was always unconditional.
It’s all about falling in love with yourself and sharing that love with someone who appreciates you, rather than looking for love to compensate for a self love deficit.
I am learning all the time. The tombstone will be my diploma.
The river is constantly turning and bending and you never know where it's going to go and where you'll wind up. Following the bend in the river and staying on your own path means that you are on the right track. Don't let anyone deter you from that.
I've never felt that fear is my enemy. Fear is my friend. It offers me a chance to stay alert, keep growing, continue creating something new. If you don't take that sort of risk, you learn nothing.
The price we pay for being ourselves is worth it.
A man has always wanted to lay me down but he never wanted to pick me up.
I have used all the manure that has been thrown on me as fertilizer to make me stronger.
It's best if you can do things with a sense of humor and finesse.
Don't depend on other people to be responsible for you. Don't make yourself stressed out over nonsensical things like material things.
I fall in love with myself, and I want someone to share it with me. And I want someone to share me, with me.
If you're looking for immediate rewards, you're only looking for the money.
