Music is my life, it is a reflection of what I go through.

Love , creativity, and opportunity is in the air. Take it in and do your thing.

One day we're going to watch people fight to the death, like Roman times. Instead of being in a coliseum, we're going to watch it on TV.

I've woken up from dreams and the whole song is there. I'm listening to it in my dreams. I consciously have to wake myself up and get a tape recorder because I hear it like a record.

I started out as a lousy actress and have remained one.

Nobody else knew what to do with me because big women are old

When you have a valid opinion around, it takes a lot of the pressure off.

I'd like to do a number of films. Westerns. Genre pieces. Maybe another film about Italian Americans where they're not gangsters, just to prove that not all Italians are gangsters.

Just like a script, you need to keep a business plan to yourself.
