Success Is Failing Nineteen Times And Soaring

I Was Raised Never To Carp About Things And Never To Moan, Because In Vaudeville, Which Is My Background, You Just Got On With It Through All Kinds Of Adversities.

I Have Been Called A Nun With A Switchblade Where My Privacy Is Concerned. I Think There's A Point Where One Says, That's For Family, That's For Me.

All I Care About Really Is Writing Something Worthwhile For Children, Something That Will Engage Them In Some Way And Stimulates In Them A Sense Of Wonder.

If I Am Able To Sing Again It Will Be Through Some Miracle Operation. There's A Lot Of Work Being Done To Help Singers Regain Their Voices, But In My Case I Actually Lost Vocal Tissue So It's Very Hard For My Chords To Rub Together And I Need To Replace That Tissue. I Remain Optimistic But Not Tremendously So.

I Was Named After My Two Grandmothers - Julia Elizabeth.
