Don't Listen To Anyone Who Doesn't Know

I Believe All Drunks Go To Heaven, Because They've Been Through Hell On Earth.

It Was Like Mama Suddenly Realized I Was Good, That She Didn't Have To Apologize For Me. It Was The Strangest Feeling. One Minute I Was On Stage With My Mother, The Next Moment I Was On Stage With Judy Garland. One Minute She Smiled At Me, And The Next Minute She Was Like The Lioness That Owned The Stage And Suddenly Found Somebody Invading Her Territory. The Killer Instinct Of A Performer Had Come Out In Her.

If We Had A Hard Time, My Mother Would Sit Me Down And We Would Talk About It, And She Kept Talking And Kept Processing Until We Started To Laugh About It.

She Raised Us With Humor, And She Raised Us To Understand That Not Everything Was Going To Be Great-but How To Laugh Through It.

My Mother Gave Me My Drive But My Father Gave Me My Dreams.
