world audience
I love audiences. My God, the best friends in the world!
energy too-much active
I like to keep active. I've got too much energy not to.
thinking long bells
I want to settle down this last time. I say last, because I don't think I'm in any condition to live a long time from now. The bell's gonna ring pretty soon.
mean done goes-on
I don't know what the hell I'm doing up there half the time. These performers that go on about their technique and craft - oh, puleeze! How boring! I don't know what technique means. But I do know what experience is. I know in my gut when I've done a scene right.
thinking two decision
I don't think I'm gonna die tomorrow or even two weeks from now, or even ever. I just don't know - who the hell knows what's gonna happen to them? Nobody! Isn't that comforting? Nobody has a clue. I like that we don't know. And I like that it's somebody else's decision, not mine.
hard-work attention unattractive
There's nothing attractive about doing a documentary. Nothing. It's hard, hard work, and I find having all the attention of the day on me a very unattractive proposition.
song insecurity way
For my money, insecurity, depression, etc, can be healed by way of El Morocco, sad songs at 4am, and the pop of a champagne cork
doe easy
Easy does it is what I'm looking for,
age up-to-you aging
This age thing is all up to you. It's like happiness is up to you. You just have to understand what it is before you get it.
telling-the-truth realizing trouble
It's very disconcerting to start out and to say, "I'm going to tell the truth," and then to realize it's that much trouble.
different goes-on way
I've changed a lot, too! I'm different, too. I have far more in some ways to offer and far less in other ways to offer. That's life. And, you know, life goes on!
rocks
Everybody's got a sack of rocks.
dad jail long
I tell the truth, and it has gotten me into a lot of trouble. My dad used to say to me, 'If you tell the truth all day long, you will end up in jail.'
should-have dancing knows
I don't know what should have happened in my life, but I do know that I'm dancing as fast as I can.
