Give up smoking. Don't get so fat. So much illness is self-induced - which I can't stand. And I'm not a good nursemaid. Don't call me if you're ill.

I get really very upset when I'm voted out, and I feel very disappointed.

I don't like the Samba; it's nonsense. With a lot of these Latin dances I can't really understand what they're all about. I like the Rumba and the Paso Doble but the others I could take or leave.

I wanted to be a male ballet dancer.

Composers, like authors, have a lot in common. Our main goal is to connect with the listener emotionally.

An actor is at most a poet and at least an entertainer.
