 A star needs all the rest she can get. |
| The sicker mother got, the stranger the people surrounding her became. I called them The Garland Freaks. |

| I have a healthy body, free of the chemicals that once controlled it. |
| One of the oddities about being Judy Garland's daughter was that everyone treated my mother with such awe that they would never have asked me the normal questions kids get about their moms. |

| Fabio kept asking me out, but I knew we'd never get his ego through the door. |

| My mother was electric onstage, and I vividly recall the extraordinary power she had over her audiences. |
| People come up to me as I leave the stage after a performance and tell me tey saw my mother onstage with me every time I sing. I keep a sense of humor about it. |
| Instead of joyfully looking forward to my birth, my mother began systematically preparing for her own death. She was fatalistic. |
| If you really want to kill yourself, you get a gun and blow your head off. |
| My mother wasn't rational those last years; if she had been, she would have been horrified by her own behavior. |
| The only difference between the Bel Air of the '90s and the Bel Air of my childhood is that now the nannies are Latina instead of British, and the cars European instead of American. |
