You don’t know how to handle anything today, because you have to go to jail to get some press or fall down drunk. - Liza Minnelli

My mother once told me never be a second-rate version of somebody else when you can be a first-rate version of yourself.

Liza Minelli said she can't sing well enough those "special songs" of her late mother, Judy Garland, so she doesn't sing them at all. The award-winning entertainer said she'd "rather present a first-rate version of myself than a second-rate version of Mama."

Some people think reality must be constantly depressing, but I think reality is something you rise above.
