I've paid the price; I definitely have a reputation that precedes me, and there is a camp that plots my demise. But then again... it's funner that way.

My reputation precedes me now.

I definitely have a Luddite's approach to what's going on. I find that as I get older, I get stupider.

Arguably, the relationship between Liza Minnelli and Judy Garland is one of the great mother-daughter sagas of all time. Certainly, for certain people, and a lot of them, Liza is the bigger star. Liza is the more kind of viable legend, shall we say. Then there's the other camp, where Judy is the one.

Work is the price which is paid for reputation.

To me, songs come of their own volition - and with an open-ended philosophy.
