[on Helen Reddy:] She Ought To Be

The First Time I Saw A Picture Of [fabled Actress] Ethel Barrymore - She Was On Broadway And She Was Wearing Pearls. I Thought, "that's Who I Should Grow Up To Be." It's Odd, Because It Was Her Physical Image That I Wanted; I Had No Idea What It Was Like Actually To Be Her. In Those Days, We Weren't Bombarded By Images The Way We Are Now, And The Ones We Did Have Were More Vivid In People's Minds.

Twenty-seven People Sang 'wind Beneath My Wings' Before I Got Around To It. A Lot Of People Saw The Movie That I Sang It In, Beaches, And What They Came Away With Was That Song. They Turned To Their Loved Ones And Said, 'you Know, You Are The Wind Beneath My Wings!' The Song Expressed How They Felt In A Way A Simple 'i Love You' Would Not Have.

Everyone Goes Through Their Winters And Springs, And Their Summers And Autumns.

I Firmly Believe That With The Right Footwear One Can Rule The World.

I Made A Pact With Myself A Long Time Ago: Never Watch Anything Stupider Than You. It's Helped Me A Lot.
