I always believed that I could make it or I would never have spent so many years trying to get here.
From Helen Reddy
It took me a year to really learn the American lingo. I really feel for people who are coming here and don't speak English at all. It must be hell.
Most of the people I know in show business don't need anybody pushing them at all. They're extremely aggressive.
I had a career for 25 years in Australia before I ever came to the United States.
My audience are the same people who bought my albums years ago. These people are now married, with their own homes, their own families. If I'm in concert, I get people now who bring their kids.
There is a wealth of twentieth century music that is being re-discovered by a generation that hasn't heard it.
Please don't ask me any questions about the politics of 30 years ago.
To this day I get mail from women who say, I went to law school because of your song. But I would hate to think out of the wide spectrum of things I have done in my career, that's all I would be remembered for.
I worked with my parents on the stage in production numbers since I was 4, but I never really gave much thought to being a performer on my own until I was 12 or 13.
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.
