bits hard skip straight word work
I'd never done a straight play before, never, and it was very hard work - really, really hard work. It was dense, really wordy, and I was determined to learn every word of it - not just skip over bits and pieces.
relationship men hard
I can get plenty of men, keeping them is the hard part.
self-esteem hard-work people
Self-esteem is something you have to earn! The only way to achieve self-esteem is to work hard. People have an obligation to live up to their potential.
hard-work people hard
People are not the best because they work hard. They work hard because they are the best.

I learned to accept the audience's happiness for me, which is one of the hardest things for me to learn.

The worst part of success is trying to find someone who is happy for you.

When I moved to New York City in 1965, I wanted to be in theater. I was following my Ethel Barrymore dream. But I was too young to be Ethel.
fans force gigantic jobs supposed
As an actor, you're supposed to take jobs that will challenge you or force fans to see you in a different light. By the '90s, I wasn't really an actor anymore. I was someone who went on the road with these gigantic concerts.

I mean, can I really create a full, three-dimensional character? I don't know anymore. I'm certainly going to try.

I already have a Tony for my Broadway concert in '73. It's one of the most precious things I've won.
affection broadway easily inside theater
I had a hard-scrabble childhood with my parents. I have a lot of baggage. To come down to the footlights and accept the audience's affection inside a Broadway theater - that didn't come easily to me.
stars doors ideas
I had no idea of being a star, all I knew was that I wanted to be a great actress, I wanted to work as an actress. So I thought the way I would be a great actress was to sing and dance first. Lay a foundation - get my foot in the door, and then undoubtedly, of course, I would be offered great roles as soon as I grew up enough to handle them.

The Internet has changed everything. People will be discovered online. People buy music online. It's a completely different way to get entertainment.
thinking essence issues
I think the essence of humor has not changed. It's all about surprise, facilitating follows. But the context of humor has changed. Previously, the jokes were more related to current issues, political. Today people make about each other either funny or about people like Kim Kardashian. It's brutal. Everything is so much vielschmutziger.
