Believe it or not, most people think of me as a recording artist, but actually the way I think of myself and the way I earn my living is as a performing artist.

Depression, as far as I'm concerned, is just a waste of time.

Hindsight is wonderful. It's always very easy to second guess after the fact.

I always believed that I could make it or I would never have spent so many years trying to get here.

I am woman, hear me roar, in numbers too big to ignore, and I know too much to go back and pretend.

I am woman, hear me roar.

I believe wholeheartedly in marriage. I don't exclusively mean a marriage with a legal contract, but any relationship that constitutes a marriage because of the quality of their relationship.

I couldn't do anything. I'd work in a department store for a couple of weeks, but I couldn't hack it. I couldn't even type! I had no skills whatsoever outside of show business.

I did my own music videos, my own TV commercials.

I don't know if it's a sign of all the chaos that is happening out there or not, but I've lately craved the structure and order of classical music, the balance and symmetry.

I don't think any one person is the cause of all of someone else's problems.

I had a career for 25 years in Australia before I ever came to the United States.

I like music to soothe me.

I think back and marvel that my ambitions were so small.

I think that two people who decide to live together in a marriage situation, they have an obligation to make the marriage work for them.

I thought Erica Jong's Fear of Flying was one of the biggest pieces of crap that I've ever read in my life.

I wanted control over the merchandising, the actual packaging of the product. That was a big factor. The only way for me to exercise control on all those levels was to start my own label.

I was looking for a husband, but meanwhile to survive, I had to work.
Helen Reddy

I was very strongly influenced by women's magazines and I really believed tha a woman could not be married and raise a family and have a successful career all at the same time.
