I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar, In

I Couldn't Do Anything. I'd Work In A Department Store For A Couple Of Weeks, But I Couldn't Hack It. I Couldn't Even Type! I Had No Skills Whatsoever Outside Of Show Business.

It Took Me A Year To Really Learn The American Lingo. I Really Feel For People Who Are Coming Here And Don't Speak English At All. It Must Be Hell.

It Took So Long To Make It In America. The Year I Arrived Was A Bad Year For Women Singers, The Record Company Told Me. So I Starved. I Lived In A Hotel So Dreadful I Can't Even Talk About It.

I Was Very Strongly Influenced By Women's Magazines And I Really Believed Tha A Woman Could Not Be Married And Raise A Family And Have A Successful Career All At The Same Time.

There Is A Wealth Of Twentieth Century Music That Is Being Re-discovered By A Generation That Hasnt Heard It.
