Believe it or not, most people think of me as a recording artist, but actually the way I think of myself and the way I earn my living is as a performing artist.
I believe wholeheartedly in marriage. I don't exclusively mean a marriage with a legal contract, but any relationship that constitutes a marriage because of the quality of their relationship.
I always believed that I could make it or I would never have spent so many years trying to get here.
I was looking for a husband, but meanwhile to survive, I had to work.
If I have to, I can do anything. I am strong, I am invincible, I am Woman.
I think back and marvel that my ambitions were so small.
I thought Erica Jong's Fear of Flying was one of the biggest pieces of crap that I've ever read in my life.
You're not going to find a man whose socks don't get dirty or who doesn't snore.
I wanted control over the merchandising, the actual packaging of the product. That was a big factor. The only way for me to exercise control on all those levels was to start my own label.
If you tell people your ambitions, they usually laugh at you. When I told my girlfriends when I was 12 that I was going to Hollywood, they all laughed. And here I am!
Women today have more of an overview of their lives and how marriage is or is not a part of it.
Most of the people I know in show business don't need anybody pushing them at all. They're extremely aggressive.
Three-quarters of the world’s population doesn’t have enough to eat!
Stop living a day at a time and stop worrying about age.
