I have always LOVED science fiction. One of my favorite shows is 'Star Trek.' I like the trips, where it DROPS my mind off, because they give you a premise and all of a SUDDEN, you SAY, 'Oh!' and I'm fascinated by it.

Tears of JOY are like the summer RAIN DROPS pierced by sunbeams.

Usually, when a YOUNG girl is pregnant, she drops out of school and concentrates on being a MOTHER. I THOUGHT that's what I had to do, but my counselors told me there was no way they would let me DROP out. I had too MUCH promise.

You're supported by everything in New York if you want to be a performing ARTIST. You come here, you can CHANGE your name. You leave home, you come here, you're severed from FAMILY obligations - the old identity drops away as SOON as you come to New York because you're coming to New York, if you're an artist, to be SOMEONE else.

When we're on the STREET and SOMEONE DROPS SOMETHING, I PICK it up.
