The secret to a long marriage is to stay gone.
If I could get their attention long enough, I felt they would see beneath the boobs and find the heart, and that they would see beneath the wig and find the brains. I think one big part of whatever appeal I possess is the fact that I look totally one way and that I am totally another. I look artificial, but I'm not.
When I get down, I don't waller around for long.
People will use you as long as you let them.
I try to see the good in everybody, and I don't care who people are as long as they're themselves, whatever that is.
You can do anything you want to do as long as you keep a good attitude and keep working at it. But the second you give up, you’re screwed.
People always ask me how long it takes to do my hair. I don’t know, I’m never there.
The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain. When I'm inspired, I get excited because I can't wait to see what I'll come up with next. Find out who you are and do it on purpose.
There was a circle of friends, and a circle of performers, and a circle of love at the old place.
I used to feel so proud to be there with what I thought at the time were where the legends and heroes has stood and had sung. And I've been in the business so long, I've almost become one of them. So it's like I'm standing in my own footsteps.
I've always admired Sir Elton's songwriting, musicianship and singing and I'm thrilled to be working with him,
I usually get up at 3 A.M. I don't require a lot of sleep, and if I get tired, I'll take a powernap during the day.
Well, it's always fun, this movie, what it's done. It's just amazing to me that it's 25 years old, and how long it's lasted, and the fact that it had a good message then, it has a good message now.
My best country record only sold 200,000 copies.
