My first role was an angel in the nursery nativity. I spotted my mum halfway through and shouted over someone else's lines to ask if she liked my costume. I've learnt not to do that now.
My mother never wore much make-up, and she was a kind of natural beauty; she knew just how to enhance what she had.
I went to the University of Vermont because I had a kind of unrequited love for this high school girlfriend. She wasn't even at the University but at another school nearby. But I thought if went to a school near her, just maybe... I was really remedial about girls in so many ways.
My mom is painfully sweet; she's from Nebraska.
When Mom had her first nervous breakdown, she said she had a vision of Christ coming to her in the living room.
Georgia O'Keeffe proposed that I live with her. She was in New Mexico then, and I wanted to be in New York.
My mother's background was Scottish. She came from an old family, some of whom lived in upper New York State and some of whom had come over from Scotland.
Lots of luck to Paige VanZant. I met her a few times. She's very nice girl.
I really like Nicki Minaj. I think she's great.
I actually have two songs I did with Nicki Minaj. We didn't even plan on doing it that way, but it was an organic connection and just a really solid connection she and I had musically.
Many people say Nicki Minaj is a rapper, but she's also a singer.
Nicki Minaj is one of those rare artists who get the social aspect of their career. She interacts with her fans. She replies to them. She gets them information first.
Oh my God, Nicole is killed? Oh my God, she is dead?
I've always looked up to Nicole Kidman. I think she's an elegant and talented actress. You can tell how much she commits to her characters, and I admire that.
I stepped in for Nicole Kidman in 'Dogville' when she left that film.
Nina Simone sacrificed so much to be as bold as she was about being black and about being female in an era where that could have cost her life.
Only one percent of artists are really profitable and successful. Beyonce is one‑tenth of one percent. When we talk about what she can do, ninety-nine percent of artists can't do that.
My mother would thump me sharply on the head with a thimble or a spoon if I became too noisy with the whistle when I was playing I was a steamboat captain. She had no sense of the dignity of command.
My mom, well, she's half Greek, half German-Italian; born in England. She's just a nomad. She loves Middle Eastern style, Indian style, so much so that she ended up having Indian babies.
Fonda was neither wrong nor unconscionable in what she said and did in North Vietnam.
