  • In 1969, I wrote a musical called 'Mother Earth.' It was a rock musical with an ecology theme. We did it at the South Coast Repertory Theatre in Southern California where I was a member. It was a smash hit in this small theater.

  • The biggest surprise to people is that I sang background on Pink Floyd's 'The Wall' album.

  • Actually, the year 2000 is our 25th anniversary of doing Captain & Tennille. I can't believe it. It's like, how is this possible?

  • There was a period after my first solo album came out that about 50 per cent of my work was with symphonies and big bands. We did the Captain and Tennille as well, but it ended up being about 50-50.

  • I am just the most boring person you will ever meet. I'm the good Southern daughter. I'm not outrageous.

  • The Stones can get out there and do it till they're old men. But certain groups are sad-looking to me.

  • My mother did play classical piano, not that well. And actually, my father sang with the big bands - he sang with Bob Crosby's band - but he had to give up show business when his father died. He had to come back to Montgomery and take over the furniture store.

  • Any woman can be a siren one minute and in pigtails the next. I am a very complex person with more than just the one facet that television played on.

  • Once you've established yourself with hits that become part of people's lives, then they pretty much always want to see you.
