I don't think any one person is the cause of all of someone else's problems.
I don't know if it's a sign of all the chaos that is happening out there or not, but I've lately craved the structure and order of classical music, the balance and symmetry.
I couldn't do anything. I'd work in a department store for a couple of weeks, but I couldn't hack it. I couldn't even type! I had no skills whatsoever outside of show business.
I did my own music videos, my own TV commercials.
I am woman, hear me roar.
I worked with my parents on the stage in production numbers since I was 4, but I never really gave much thought to being a performer on my own until I was 12 or 13.
I think that two people who decide to live together in a marriage situation, they have an obligation to make the marriage work for them.
[On God:] She makes everything possible.
If you had told me when I was 18 that I wouldn't have made it until I was 29, I would have said, Forget it.
You can bend but never break me. Cause it only serves to make me more determined to achieve my final goal.
There is no magic person out there, no perfect human being out there waiting for you.
My audience are the same people who bought my albums years ago. These people are now married, with their own homes, their own families. If I'm in concert, I get people now who bring their kids.
It took me a year to really learn the American lingo. I really feel for people who are coming here and don't speak English at all. It must be hell.
I've been in a serious conversation with one of my children, and a fan has come up. I've been in a public bathroom and had the hand come under the stall with a paper and pen. That sort of thing anybody can live without.
