I have spent much of my adult life flinching with pain as I tried to pull out the threads that bound the shadows of my past to me.

I choose not to think of my life as surviving, but coping.

All my adult life people have been helping me.

The most memorable night of The Judy Garland Show for me was the night my mother pulled me out of the audience and sang to me onstage.

I spent an entire evening seated between Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly, being charmed from either side. It was pure Hollywood magic.

I've had the same breasts for my entire adult life.
