When I was very young I was Judy. On good days I was Dorothy, on bad days I was the Wicked Witch.

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

MGM made over-worked, spoiled idols out of Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney, and Elizabeth Taylor; it wasn't the kids' fault, nor the studio's, it was the System. I too was on the spoiling list for a while, but I didn't go along with it. View quote
