I've always liked Tina Turner.

Tina Turner is someone that I admire, because she made her strength feminine and sexy.

I love Tina Turner. I'm one of Tina Turner's biggest fans. Tina Turner was a big influence on me to become a singer. A role model and in a way she gave me back my confidence in choosing my material.

I had not met Tina Fey before I auditioned for '30 Rock'. Some people think we're old friends from 'Second City' days. I had always been a fan of Tina's. But I actually never planned on being in a sitcom.

I saw Tina Turner do 'Proud Mary' on TV, and it was so electrifying and such a unique experience. I remember crying out of excitement, and I knew that I wanted to be a performer and make people feel excited and moved, and that's why I gravitated towards it.

I was a little girl who grew up idolizing musical-theatre stars.

Well I always wanted to be Dolly Parton when I was a little girl. I was obsessed with her.

I grew up on Bette Davis movies, and Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe.

I loved Lucille Ball growing up.
