Liberace was a miracle. You talk about who he was and what he did, and then you look at who he inspired, from Elton John to Cher to Michael Jackson to Bette Midler. There are so many people that came to see him. Elvis was there, watching his shows.

No other entertainer in the world ever took the risks that Liberace took.

Liberace was a lovely guy.

Liberace was one of the biggest stars in America. He was a kind of a phenomenon.

Elton John and Billy Joel, I find them both to be huge inspirations, those guys are so talented.

I think there are unseen powers who don't want pop music to be anything other than glorified Madonnas.

You can take Elvis. You can take Marilyn Monroe. Success and fame will not be the answer if something inside of you is bothering you, if things in your mind aren't going right.

I think, describing Elvis for me would be a very generous king. He was the king of rock and roll, will always be. He's whats made it possible for everyone to be performers and to do the things they do now.

Elvis was the king. No doubt about it. People like myself, Mick Jagger and all the others only followed in his footsteps.

I would really, really, really like to be a legend like Madonna. Madonna knows what to do next, and when she's performing, the audience is just in awe of her.
