Pure Entertainment Is Not An Egotistical Lady

My Mother Sent Me To Psychiatrists Since The Age Of Four Because She Didnt Think Little Boys Should Be Sad. When My Brother Was Born, I Stared Out The Window For Days. Can You Imagine That?

When I Perform, It's Very Personal. I'm Sharing Things I Like, Inviting The Audience Into My Room.

I Try To Please People, To Give Them A Good Time, But I Refuse To Make My Act Conform To Traditional Show-biz Standards Of Entertainment. There's A Little Voice That Says, 'oh, No, You Can't Do That, That's Breaking All The Rules.' That's The Voice Of Show Business. Then This Other Little Voice Says, 'try It.' And Most Of The Time, When The Voice Comes On And Says, 'no,' That's The Time It Works.

While All The Other Kids Were Out Playing Ball And Stuff, I Used To Stay In My Room And Imagine That There Was A Camera In The Wall. And I Used To Really Believe That I Was Putting On A Television Show And That It Was Going Out To Somewhere In The World.

Pure Entertainment Is Not An Egotistical Lady Singing Boring Songs Onstage For Two Hours And People In Tuxes Clapping Whether They Like It Or Not. It's The Real Performers On The Street Who Can Hold People's Attention And Keep Them From Walking Away.
