“My life, my career has been like a roller coaster. I’ve either been an enormous success or just a down-and-out failure.”

Give the people what they want and then go have a hamburger.

When I die I have visions of fags singing ‘Over the Rainbow’ and the flag at Fire Island being flown at half mast.

People en masse have always been wonderful to me. I truly have a great love for an audience. I want to give them two hours of just pow.

Audiences have kept me alive.

When you have lived the life I’ve lived, when you’ve loved and suffered, and been madly happy and desperately sad — well, that’s when you realize you’ll never be able to set it all down. Maybe you’d rather die first.

Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue, and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.

The greatest treasures are those invisible to the eye but found by the heart.

You are never so alone as when you are ill on stage. The most nightmarish feeling in the world is suddenly to feel like throwing up in front of four thousand people.

In the silence of night I have often wished for just a few words of love from one man, rather than the applause of thousands of people.

I’ve been in love with audiences all my life, and I’ve tried to please. I hope I did.

Behind every cloud is another cloud.

Wouldn`t it be wonderful if we could all be a little more gentle with each other, and a little more loving, have a little more empathy, and maybe we’d like each other a little bit more.

Soon the sun beams will smile through. Before you jump out of that bed, just know, the thought of you was the first thing that hit my head.

I think there’s something peculiar about me that I haven’t died. It doesn’t make sense but I refuse to die.

If I’m such a legend, then why am I so lonely? If I’m such a legend, then why do I sit at home for hours staring at the damned telephone, hoping it’s out of order, even calling the operator asking her if she’s sure it’s not out of order?

For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.

whatever your career may be, do not let yourselves become tainted by a deprecating and barren scepticism, do not let yourselves be discouraged by the sadness of certain hours which pass over nations.

I went through a lot of heartbreak the first half of my career, maybe even longer, cuz deep down I needed that validation that I thought the awards could bring.

We won best breakthrough video, it meant so much to me to win that award, it was a turning point in my career.

I built a company at the same time I built a career.

I don’t think modeling is a career I’m going to pursue.

Thought is powerful in all phases. Even in my career, even in my life, things end up exactly how I visualized them.

So many women around the world in so many different career paths and places are expected to be perfect and I know that it sounds cliché, but none of us are.

Now is the one time in my life I can be 100% selfish. I’m not married; I don’t have kids; I can focus on my career.
