[on her children's awareness of her '80s fame] Living in Vegas, they've seen giant billboards advertising their mom's shows. They're proud of me. I don't do anything to embarrass them. I don't sit around on a Saturday night going, 'So, do you want to watch Mom's videos from the '80s?' [The Arizona Republic, April 6, 2008]

in the Orange County Register, 12/22/91] I have never claimed to be Miss Hip and I never tried to appeal to an avant-garde audience with a green streak in my hair, a bag over my head and songs about living couches. Some entertainers lose their way because they're always trying to make a statement with their music or trying to be cool enough to be in with The Rolling Stones crowd. Well, that was never me. So sue me; I'm a pop singer. People bounce along in their cars to my songs and that's good enough for me.
