Remember those black-and-white films with Frank Sinatra? Those guys looked like men and they were only 27! Listen to Otis Redding singing 'Try A Little Tenderness'. That was a man who understood what a man has to know in the world. Show me a real man now! Where are they? View quote

When I was very young I was Judy. On good days I was Dorothy, on bad days I was the Wicked Witch. The interesting thing about it, too, is that I've always related to it mainly because I don't relate much to Frank Sinatra. I appreciate Frank, but there are so many Frank Sinatra imitators, whether it's Harry Connick Jr. or Michael Bublé-the kind of guys who [Snaps his fingers in quick succession] basically want to get laid. And there's nobody being the flip side of that, which is the hungry, lonely, desperate, crazy-person singer [Laughs]. So I wanted to pick up that mantle and try to be a little less cool. View quote
