When It's Time To Shuffle

I Want To Have Fun, And I Want To Give People A Good Laugh.

My Parents Used To Park Us Kids At The Public Library In Downtown Honolulu Every Saturday. They'd Leave Us There At 8 A.m. And Pick Us Up At 4 P.m. - So Between Those Hours, You'd Better Find Something To Do! I Sat Upstairs In The Picture Room And Went Through Opera, Ballet, And Theater Books. I Loved The Photographs Of People Wearing Elaborate Makeup And Costumes - They Really Pulled At Me Inside. I Was In That Library Every Week For Years, Until I Was About 13. I Had A Rich Interior Life, Because I Didn't Have Much Of A Social Life.

I Believe That Judy Garland's Artistry Was So Fine. I Mean, When People Say: 'oh, She Brought So Much Of Her Life To Her Music', I Don't Really Believe That. I Believe That She Didn't Have To. She Just Was A Moving Human Being. That Was Her Gift.

I Celebrate Everyone's Religious Holidays. If It's Good Enough For The Righteous, It's Good Enough For The Self-righteous, I Always Say.
