I've wanted to perform my entire life. I found a paper I wrote in kindergarten class about what I wanted to be when I grew up - and I wrote 'a famous singer!'

I'm just not a private person. It's not like I do things because I want things to be public it's just that's my way of expressing myself, and I happen to be very famous.

My goal was not to be famous or rich but to be good at what I did. And that required going to New York and studying and working in the theater.

I used to think no one should go into show biz, but now I feel differently. I now feel like it's a great career. If you can do it and make money at it and still not be so famous that you can have a normal life - then I think it's a great career.

You're asking the wrong girl about fame. I'm hardly famous. I wouldn't want to trade places with anyone else.
