When I started singing, I couldn't be shut up.

I've always been the breadwinner and men don't like that. They turn on you. They bite the hand that feeds them. Eventually, too, they become very jealous of the love one has with an audience.

I think men are afraid to be with a successful woman, because we are terribly strong, we know what we want and we are not fragile enough.

Diamonds never leave you... men do!

It's hard for a man to live with a successful woman - they seem to resent you so much. Very few men are generous enough to accept success in their women.

I'd like to run away From you, But if you didn't come And find me ... I would die.

You don't get older, you get better.

No wedding bells for me anymore. I've been happily married to my profession for years.

I hate it when people come up to me when I'm eating.

I wanted to be a model; I wanted to be a nurse; I wanted to be so many things, almost anything but being part of show business.

How oddly do life and death jostle each other in this strange world of ours! How nearly allied are smiles and tears!

White shall not neutralize the black, nor good compensate bad in man, absolve him so: life's business being just the terrible choice.

To me He is all fault who hath no fault at all: For who loves me must have a touch of earth.

Practice Golden-Rule 1 of Management in everything you do. Manage others the way you would like to be managed.

Accountability only works if you want it to.

I hated being a public company CEO.

I just want it to be timeless and timely at the same time.

I like the comfort in knowing that women are the only future in rock and roll.

Like so many American families, our families weren't asking for much. They didn't begrudge anyone else's success or care that others had much more than they did, in fact, they admired it.

I had much more fun criticizing than praising.
