God is watching us from a distance.
I hope to keep entertaining in some way until I can’t physically entertain any longer. It’s what I was born to do, and I love this profession.
I try not to drink too much because when I’m drunk, I bite.
I married a German. Every night I dress up as Poland and he invades me.
Through books and photographs, I saw a world that was not my own – and I realized that there was another world. That’s why I’m concerned about education, because it helps our children see other worlds.
There’s a kind of emotional exploration you plumb with a friend that you don’t really do with your family.
Just remember, during the winter, far beneath the bitter snow, that there’s a seed that with the sun’s love in the spring becomes a rose.
For days on end, I would hardly speak, and when I did only the vilest sort of gibberish would spout forth. I became morose and fat. Unapproachable, except when eating – and then only by waiters.
I made a pact with myself a long time ago: Never watch anything stupider than you. It’s helped me a lot.
If I don’t feel right about what I’m in, I don’t feel right about anything.
Here I am, one of the most colorful women of my time – if not of my block – being made to sound positively legumelike in printed interviews.
I’m the last of the truly tacky women. I do trash with flash and sleaze with ease.
My parents taught me: Do not rely on a man. Not rely on it that you get married and it pays for you. That’s what I figured. I have always paid my own bills.
The old forms of entertainment are not extinct. Live performances are the pinnacle. If you can something that people want to see live, then you have a great career.
I read neither good nor bad about me. I let it not even in my life, so it has no effect on me. I am very sensitive.
If you’re frightened, you’re out of luck.
The Internet has changed everything. People will be discovered online. People buy music online. It’s a completely different way to get entertainment.
My parents have not insisted that we go to college, but she wanted us to learn. Teacher, librarian, secretary, nurse. All my siblings were employed. But I wanted to be the boss, an independent contractor.
Music is probably the only place I get energy from. Music and maybe watching a really tremendous performer, watching a terrific performer like Jagger or watching a great movie.
I always wanted to be a performer, I didn’t know exactly what kind of performer, all I knew was there were certain things that I liked. I liked movies a whole lot, and I loved music.
When you have a steady job you’re more inspired to broaden yourself.
