ON WHETHER SHE'D EVER DE-GLAM FOR A MOVIE ROLE
''Honey, I might. But let me tell you, I'd practically have to have an Oscar in my hand before I took off all this stuff. I know what's under here. You don't want to! But I act when I sing. That's what singing is, really. I wrote a lyric once, 'Music is the voice of the soul.' It's true. And all that I want to express, I can express through my songs.'' — to the New York Post's Liz Smith, 2006
