If I have to, I can do anything. I am strong, I am invincible, I am Woman.
I am woman, hear me roar, in numbers too big to ignore, and I know too much to go back and pretend.
I am woman, hear me roar.
Hindsight is wonderful. It's always very easy to second guess after the fact.
Depression, as far as I'm concerned, is just a waste of time.
If you tell people your ambitions, they usually laugh at you. When I told my girlfriends when I was 12 that I was going to Hollywood, they all laughed. And here I am!

I always believed that I could make it or I would never have spent so many years trying to get here.
I don't know if it's a sign of all the chaos that is happening out there or not, but I've lately craved the structure and order of classical music, the balance and symmetry.

I had a career for 25 years in Australia before I ever came to the United States.

There is no magic person out there, no perfect human being out there waiting for you.
I was looking for a husband, but meanwhile to survive, I had to work.
You're not going to find a man whose socks don't get dirty or who doesn't snore.
I like music to soothe me.
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.
