The old dog barks backward without getting up I can remember when he was a pup.

I'll note you in my book of memory.

The only time I did one puff was in Holland, where it's legal. And I went to a cafeteria with some girls, with the little boats and the canals and we stopped and I tried. Nothing. No. But I didn't choke. I took one puff and I said, 'Okay, nothing happened!' It was funny. It was, for us, like cheating. 'Oooh!' You know, there might be paparazzi!'

Some people seem to fade away but then when they are truly gone, it's like they didn't fade away at all.

The first song that I ever recorded was written by my mother.

I wanted to be a skinny little ballerina but I was a voluptuous little Italian girl whose dad had meatballs on the table every night.
