I'm a work in progress.

When I sing, people shut up.

I need instant gratification.

I still like my antique clothes.

I worked in a Chinese restaurant.

I never sing in the shower either.

We elected a President, not a Pope.

Art transcends politics this weekend.

Life's too short. Start with Dessert!

The artist as citizen is here to stay.

I think of myself as a girl from Brooklyn.

The audience is the barometer of the truth.

I can take any truth; just don't lie to me.

Oh God, don't envy me, I have my own pains.

Love comes from the most unexpected places.

I was a personality before I became a person.

I'm tired of malicious articles slandering me.

There is nothing more important in life than love.

I go by instinct - I don't worry about experience.

Around people I don't know, I'm totally at a loss.

I wasn't supported, I wasn't given any self-esteem.

I like simple things. Elastic waists, so I can eat.

I’d rather not talk about money. It’s kind of gross.

Myths are a waste of time. They prevent progression.

Stay true to yourself. People respond to authenticity.

I just don't want to be hampered by my own limitations.

It is every woman's dream to be some man's dream woman.

My mother never really thought I could become anything.

You have got to discover you, what you do, and trust it.

Performing, for me, has always been a very inner process.

I don't feel like a legend. I feel like a work in progress.

progress, whatever your definition of it, is not inevitable.

It takes me about 10 years to appreciate what it is I've done.

It's not a date. We're just agreeing to eat at the same table.

I'm not weird, just different from people who aren't different.

You have to live life in the moment and get the most out of it.

I only began to sing because I couldn't get a job as an actress.

I was kind of a wild child. I wasn't taught the niceties of life.

I am a nice person. I care about my driver having lunch, you know.

A human being is only interesting if he's in contact with himself.

I don't read music. Not even essentially. Not even nonessentially.

It's true that I have a very healthy ego; anybody who creates does.

Believe in the power of your voice! Be yourself. Everyone is unique.

I just became a singer, because I could never get work as an actress.

As a young woman, I wanted nothing more than to see my name in lights.

I don't think I'm tough in a so called tough way. I'm tough on myself.

Issues of foreign policy have a place in every election for President.

I was raised on the streets, in hot, steamy Brooklyn, with stifled air.

Why is it people who want the truth never believe it when they hear it?

I knew that with a mouth like mine, I just hadda be a star or something.
