“I don’t care what the critics say. My fabulous mom will give me a good review if nobody else does.”

You know, there’s nothing damnable about being a strong woman. The world needs strong women.

Only an adult with dying dreams can appreciate how awesome it is to have a dog.

I do everything the man does, only backwards and in high heels!

I believe in living each day as it comes, to the best of my ability. When it’s done, I put it away, remembering that there will be a tomorrow to take it’s place. If I have any philosophy, that’s it. To me it’s not a fatalistic attitude.

The only way to enjoy anything in this life is to earn it first.

When two people love each other, they don’t look at each other, they look in the same direction.

I did everything he did but backwards & in high heels.

You’ve got to stand for something or you’ll fall for anything.

The most important thing in anyone’s life is to be giving something. The quality I can give is fun, joy and happiness. This is my gift.

I believe in dressing for the occasion. There’s a time for sweater, sneakers and Levis and a time for the full-dress jazz.

Rhythm is born in all of us. To be a desirable dancing partner, you don’t have to do all the intricate fancy steps that happen to be in vogue. All you have to do is be a good average dancer, and anybody who spends the time and effort can accomplish this.

My faith in humanity leads me to believe that people are looking for something more elevating than the sordid details of the intimate aspects of one’s personal life.

Part of the joy of dancing is conversation. Trouble is, some men can’t talk and dance at the same time.

The kids today, they think they can dance with their faces.

I try to feed my hunger rather than my appetite.

Perhaps I am old-fashioned, but black and white films still hold an affectionate place in my heart; they have an incomparable mystique and mood.

People are willing to pay you if you’re any good at all, and you have plenty of time for screwing around.

Things inspiring me – good melody, a great bass line, a fabulous voice… by which I mean someone who sounds great, rather than does pyrotechnics… and people playing really musically.

I once asked the most fabulous couple I know, Madonna and Guy Ritchie, how they kept things fresh despite having been married for almost seven months. ‘It’s a job, Al,’ Guy told me. ‘We work at it every day.’

I think the French girls are fabulous.

I was watching Monster’s Ball, which is a fabulous movie. It’s just a little gem: beautifully shot, and shot in a way I never would have done.

It’s not called being gay, it’s called being fabulous!

I just look at women sometimes and I just want to ask them, “Do you know how fabulous you are?”

Nowadays you can go anywhere in the world in a few hours, and nothing is fabulous any more.
