“The Internet has changed everything. People will be discovered online. People buy music online. It’s a completely different way to get entertainment.”

I’d make a wonderful Lady Macbeth. I’ll wear a pair of platform shoes or something.

I think most of us are torn. We have at least two people at war in our body. One person wants to retire and grow fabulous tomatoes, and the other wants to stand up on a pedestal and be worshipped and get bigger and bigger and bigger until she explodes.

Do you want to live and work in a garbage dump? I don’t. That’s partly because I grew up in the most pristine environment possible – Hawaii, where it is sacrilege to leave your garbage on the ground.

All these rumors about [Tom Cruise] being gay. I don’t believe it. I don’t believe it for one minute. He hasn’t been to one of my shows.

My parents taught me: Do not rely on a man. Not rely on it that you get married and it pays for you. That’s what I figured. I have always paid my own bills.

I had no idea of being a star, all I knew was that I wanted to be a great actress, I wanted to work as an actress. So I thought the way I would be a great actress was to sing and dance first.

While I was growing up, I believed I could do anything I could think of. So the challenge was always to keep thinking – to get to where I wanted to be and then to think of somewhere else to go.

From the age of 14 until I was 50, I just got on a treadmill and ran. I never stopped to assess what I was doing or to pat myself on the back.

I can get plenty of men, keeping them is the hard part.

I read neither good nor bad about me. I let it not even in my life, so it has no effect on me. I am very sensitive.

Let the sun stop burning, Let them tell me love’s not worth going through. If it all falls apart, I will know deep in my heart, The only dream that mattered had come true …In this life I was loved by you.

I want to have fun, and I want to give people a good laugh.

You have to think you’re the greatest thing since sliced bread, but you have to know that you’re not.

You have to be alert. When my daughter, Sophie, came out of the womb, she was instantly alert, as if she had been here before. And she was a little disappointed that she was here again.

I’ve always said we got married because there was nothing on TV.

Most people don’t deserve to be spoken of in the same breath as Chaplin or Lucille Ball.

I found that speaking live to people, young people, about what I liked and what had been happening to me was very good for me.

Branding is simply a more efficient way to sell things.

I went back to the stage because it was my way of dealing with the success I had, my way of coping.

As I often say, we have come a long way from the days of slavery, but in 2014, discrimination and inequality still saturate our society in modern ways.

Their minds, the way in which they se the world is so striking, the way they juxtapose things, the way they can see humor in people. There’s a liberation in that.

We’re charlatans in a way, we’re magic people. Part of the behind the scenes stuff is to loosen you up, to make you feel that you are experiencing this. This is my style.

It was a way of escaping the responsibilty of what was happening.

Advertising is the way great brands get to be great brands.
