“My heart belongs to the theater.”

“The applause is a receipt, not a bill.”

“I will not be a Dame. I will be a legend.”

“Singing is a way of releasing an emotion that you sometimes can't portray when you're acting.”

“I believe that in your heart you will find the thing that you love to do, and you must do it.”
