I'd love to a duet with Luther Vandross.

Every time I show up to do something here it's considered a comeback. If I came into town and they didn't call it that, I'd be disappointed.

I'm definitely a pop artist at heart.

Disco is just pop music you can dance to.

My mother has never been involved in my professional life. I am very close to my mother but we keep it on a mother-daughter basis and not a work-related basis.

Even if your job is a professional singer, we still dork out at home.

When I was working with David Cassidy at the Rio, I made an album of updated versions of some 1970s disco tunes. I had a blast.

I'm just passionately in love with my kids.

It's very validating when you are new in the industry to get awards. It boosts your self-esteem.

I used to think I had to stay frozen in time. No amount of Botox will keep up.

If I was still at school, I'd be looking at Britney Spears and dying to be her.

Proving I'm a good mother is the one achievement I'm most proud of. It's brought out the best in me.

I was blessed in the sense that I got handed so much early on in life. I got a lot of the things people go through their 20s and 30s craving.

I'd love to a duet with Luther Vandross.

I have the life of Riley. I take my kids to school, do a bit of work in the afternoon, pick my kids up, microwave a meal, hang out with my kids, and work for a couple of hours.

I wouldn't consciously pursue trying to make something for the charts. It's just not in my scope now. I'd rather stick needles in my eyes.

Prince used to call me up 3am in the morning and invite me to hear some of his new songs.

We are supposed to enjoy the good stuff now, while we can, with the people we love. Life has a funny way of teaching us that lesson over and over again.

My sole focus as far back as I can remember was all about my dream to become a singer.

It's nice to have been around long enough to be a part of people's lives. A lot of people who come to my show are real nostalgic for the '80s.

The whole world has changed much since the '80's. In the united States, rap music and country music dominate radio and that certainly wasn't the case in the early '80's.

When you're single and in your 20s, you throw on a pair of jeans and look fabulous.

I would make tea for Joni Mitchell or clean her car, anything to be in the studio and watch her work.

I'm a terrible dancer. The worst.

I have lived in the United States for half of my life, my entire adult life.

I'm terrible at relationships. I consider myself to be smart and a good mother but it's taken me this long to realise you don't have to marry a guy after three days or dump him.

When my kids are in college, maybe I'll drag my fishnets and high heels out.

Any time I have to get on a plane and leave my kids for a few days, it's kind of tortuous.

I used to hate, with a capitol H, making videos. It was nothing but a chore. It was something you had to do to have your music accepted in the visual medium.

If I have no children what would be the point of living.

Even though I pretty much made my own decisions early on, when I was younger I tended to overbook my life.

We assume that celebrities have it easy and so love to watch them having to endure a bit of hardship.

I love Nautilus and stretching. The results are immediate, and that gives me the motivation to continue.

I am a ordinary teenager. I fall in love like everyone else.

I don't call you handsome, sir, though I love you most dearly: far too dearly to flatter you. Don't flatter me.

The essential elements of giving are power and love - activity and affection - and the consciousness of the race testifies that in the high and appropriate exercise of these is a blessedness greater than any other.

My mother keeps things in perspective for me. She makes me realize that the acting I do and love is no more important than what one of my brothers does-he works in a shoe repair shop. If my career ever tapers off, I'll go to college.

Actors love mental disorders, dialects, and corsets. Give them one of the three and they're happy.

My goal is, of course, for this show to do well, and I would love it if people liked it.

I love living on that stage. Without that, I'd die.

I love my DSL, but I love my WiFi more. And I probably get on the Internet 40 percent to 50 percent more because of the combination of those technologies.

But I love New York. I used to set my alarm clock when I was there, and get up at 4am and get a coffee, just because I could.

I love children and I love men, but I can't commit to either for the rest of my life.

Sitting at home the way I do, I'd just love the hear from people. It'd be a great help in passing the time.

The wise are wise only because they love. The fool are fools only because they think they can understand love.

We can recognize the dawn and the decline of love by the uneasiness we feel when alone together.

Love is a mutual self-giving which ends in self-recovery.

People react to fear, not love; they don't teach that in Sunday School, but it's true.

I sort of understood that when I first started: that you shouldn't repeat a success. Very often you're going to, and maybe the first time you do, it works. And you love it. But then you're trapped.
