Well, we have theatrical parties. It's not me singing. People like to get up and jam on the piano.

Growing up in Hollywood it seemed like every kid was the child of some star. We had no idea that other people would think we were special, because there was no other lifestyle to compare it to.

I believe all drunks go to heaven, because they've been through hell on Earth.

Well, I'll tell you something, this wedding is something that I will always, always cherish. It was a show of love and support and kindness like I'd never seen from the people, and that's who I entertain. I entertain the people.

Audiences are the same all over the world, and if you entertain them, they'll respond.

I know that. I'm having a ball. I'm not slap happy. I'm just filled up with joy and with peace and with all kinds of things that have eluded me for quite a few years. And they're back and they're thriving.

What I'm saying is that I tried very hard to give them my reality and my reality is kind of interesting.

Well, I've known Elizabeth almost all of her life and almost all of my life. And I love her with all of my heart and she's always been there for me. She's a wonderful, wonderful dame. She's a great lady.

The thing is, is to raise your hand. It's not to hide, and it's not to try and pretend or do anything like that. You raise your hand, that's the best thing about it.

He was doing - Ray was designing the clothes for my mom's show from California. And one of the first appearances I ever made on television was on my mother's show and Ray and Bob did the clothes for that. It has been a long time.

Now, having had this experience, I can't say really what they were looking for. I don't know their minds. But every time I see a reality show, it seems that the most entertaining parts on other reality shows are when they make their guests look foolish.

Reality is something you rise above.

I mean, I inherited the disease of alcoholism, and I learned early to get help when I needed it. I always went to people who knew more than I did.

I had the drink after I fell out of bed. It hurt.

No, I'm a theatrical, live performer or a movie performer.

The director, of course, was Bob Fosse. But again, I worked with my father to prepare for the role.

Smoking is one of the leading causes of all statistics.

But I don't think there's any reason to get married again, especially after what I've been through.

I had a one day slip, Matt. So what do you do? You get up and you go on, and you try not to do it again.

But my brother Joey was there, and my sister Tina Nina Minnelli was there.

What good is sitting all alone in your room?

I worked very hard, but I think it's unfair to make it all sound like it's all David's fault.

I thought maybe, just by never preaching, never doing any of that stuff because it doesn't work. By just maybe the power of example and some laughs, maybe somebody might go take a walk.

No, I mean, I most certainly date and go out.

I feel like I haven't done my best work yet. I feel like there's a world of possibilities out there.

Ben Vereen is going to be on the show with me, too.

I'm fine, and my hips are fine. My false knee is fine. My false hips are fine. Everything's cooking.

Whenever we were on a plane, we had a family.

But God really did bless me, you know? He really said, All right. Come on. I'm still waiting for you. Get over here. Get over here.

In Hollywood now when people die they don't say, 'Did he leave a will?' but 'Did he leave a diary?'

Dream on it. Let your mind take you to places you would like to go, and then think about it and plan it and celebrate the possibilities. And don't listen to anyone who doesn't know how to dream.

Well, we have theatrical parties. It's not me singing. People like to get up and jam on the piano.

He's a good tough producer, yes. But I don't think that he's unreasonable unless he feels threatened. And when somebody's in your home, I think everybody in the home gets threatened.

I was given an enormous amount of love by my parents.

I'm not a very good singer. I just know how to present a song, and honey, I think I've been through enough to do it right.

The male gay community seems to be very into female singers. I think it could be the songs we sing. They're more open with their feelings. And they have good taste!

I've said it before but it's absolutely true: My mother gave me my drive but my father gave me my dreams. Thanks to him I could see a future.

Never stop moving, or you'll stop moving.

There is no executive order; there is no law that can require the American people to form a national community. This we must do as individuals and if we do it as individuals, there is no President of the United States who can veto that decision.

Young people discovering their sexuality must know they walk with a strong tradition and that they are not alone. They have a right to information without being pressured.

Many are needed to plant and water what has been planted now that the faith has spread so far and there are so many people... No matter who plants or waters, God gives no harvest unless what is planted is the faith of Peter and unless he agrees to his teachings.

DJs and people in the street know what they like.

People who keep stiff upper lips find that it's damn hard to smile.

Some people are directors and I think they should stay behind the camera.

We dominated Survivor - there is no way we would not dominate that, too. I can see it already, us making deals with people. That's the best part, and with the Race, it would be even more fun because I've got a lot of tricks up my sleeve.

I'm getting a wider circle of fans now. More women, more middle class people.

We must support initiatives that provide clear, concrete measures and milestones that our troops need for defeating the insurgency, building up Iraqi security forces, and handing over Iraq to the Iraqi people.

Yeah, that's what kind of, we get the idea a little bit yeah, because other people from different countries also try as hard as they can to get a medal or a gold medal in the Olympic Games. And you know, if they can work hard, we can work hard as well.

Well concerning the world records that I did, I think it helps a lot to me, yeah. I think it's a very individual thing because I heard some people say, like, oh I don't like it at all. But I definitely, for me it really made a big difference.
