Well It's All Right To Cry. It

I've Learned A Lot Of Things About Myself Through Singing. I Used To Have A Certain Dislike Of The Audience, Not As Individual People, But As A Giant Body Who Was Judging Me. Of Course, It Wasn`t Really Them Judging Me. It Was Me Judging Me. Once I Got Past That Fear, It Freed Me Up, Not Just When I Was Performing But In Other Parts Of My Life.

It Is America That Gave Me So Much In My Life. It Wasn't Until I Came To America That My Life Just Exploded In So Many Ways. So For Me, I Think In A Way, Though I'm English, I've Been Living The American Dream And I'm Eternally Grateful To Americans For Allowing Me To Do What I Love Doing The Most.

I Certainly Embrace All The Movement That's Going On These Days About Equality For Women And Equal Rights. In General, I Would Apply That To All Nationalities And All Races. I Think We Do Need More Awareness, Generosity, And Compassion Than We Have Right Now. But In Terms Of Feminism, I Embrace It Wholeheartedly. Not In A Kind Of Militant Way, But I've Always Known That It Matters.

I Certainly Wouldn't Compare The Rewards Of Watching One's Children Grow And Mature With That Of Money Piling Up At The Box Office. Both Are Pleasant, But To Varying Degrees. As The Old Saying Goes, You Can't Take An Audience Home With You. You Can't Depend On The Loyalty Of Fans, Who, After All Is Said And Done, Are Just Faceless People One Seldom Sees. And Few Stars Have Their Fans Forever. But A Child Is Forever. That Bond And Relationship Is Timeless And Doesn't Depend On Your Looks, Age Or Popularity At The Moment.
