I Am An Optimistic Lady.

I Suppose Partially Because Of The Success Of The Early Movies And Things Like That, I Began To Realize, That Children Do Look Up To You In Some Way, And There Is A Responsibility For How You Behave With Them. I Know That It's Important To Make Them Feel Very Valuable, Not To Talk Down To Them.

I'm Never Lonely When I'm Writing, Because You Live With The Characters That Are So Alive In Your Mind. And You Really See Them And Know Them And Get To Be Friends With Them.

I'm Thrilled In A Way Because Musicals Should Be Preserved. It's Mostly Unique To America, And They Give Us So Much Joy.

I Have Been Called A Nun With A Switchblade Where My Privacy Is Concerned. I Think There's A Point Where One Says, That's For Family, That's For Me.

Sometimes Opportunities Float Right Past Your Nose. Work Hard, Apply Yourself, And Be Ready. When An Opportunity Comes You Can Grab It.
