It's really a sad story, and I liked that. The songs on this album talk about relationships in every aspect.

I stay true to myself and my style, and I am always pushing myself to be aware of that and be original.

I want people to remember me as a full on entertainer and a good person.

I know that people think I'm sexy and I am looked at as that. It is cool with me. It's wonderful to have sexy appeal. If you embrace it, it can be a very beautiful thing.

Keep working hard and you can get anything that you want. If God gave you the talent, you should go for it. But don't think it's going to be easy. It's hard!

You have to love what you do to want to do it everyday.

It’s in how you carry yourself. I’ve always been a very mature person, and I’ve always known what I wanted. And I go after it no matter what.

If at first you don't succeed/You can dust it off and try again/Dust yourself off and try again.

Whatever will be, will be.

I see myself as sexy. If you are comfortable with it, it can be very classy and appealing.

Keep working hard and you can get anything that you want.

Any kind of misery there is in the worldly life

Do not be in a hurry, wait for the harvest.

O Woman! in our hours of ease Uncertain coy and hard to please And variable as the shade By the light quivering aspen made When pain and anguish wring the brow A ministering angel thou!

Hard times always lead to something great.

I kept a very full diary of my relationship with Nixon, for some strange reason, until he became president.

I'd been out of the movies for years, I had had a wonderful stage career, yes, in musicals and so on, but you don't really make any money in the theater.

The great movie can be as free of being a record of the progress of the protagonist as is a dream.

A poet wants only one small stone on which to carve his life.

You can't ask someone who is not making that kind of money to go to the record store and buy an album when someone down the street has the same record with same sound quality for $5.

The work is the understanding of the people that you're speaking for. The further you get away from that, the further you are from the work.
