I'm Sure That I've Already Been Dead.

I'd Like To See One Person - Just One - Who Would Own Up To Having Been A Coward.

Use Your Faults, Use Your Defects; Then You're Going To Be A Star.

I Always Thought My Days Spent In Darkness [as A Child She Had Cataracts And Was Unable To See For Nearly Four Years] Gave Me A Very Special Sensitivity. Much Later, When I Really Wanted To Hear, Really 'see' A Song, I'd Close My Eyes, And When I Wanted To Bring It Out Of The Very Depths Of Myself, Out Of My Guts, Out Of My Belly, When The Song Had To Come From Far Away, I'd Close My Eyes.

I Was Hungry. I Was Cold. But I Was Also Free. Free Not To Get Up In The Morning, Not To Go To Bed At Night, Free To Get Drunk If I Liked, To Dream... To Hope.

I Want To Make People Cry Even When They Don't Understand My Words.
