An uncle gave me a side drum and my mother decided I should have lessons.
The doctor's name was Sylvia. I told her she'd have a problem with me because Sylvia was my mother's name.
I've been overwhelmed; I was a single mother for a time.
Though I was a mother at 21, being a grandmother makes the whole thing absolutely normal and gorgeous. The relief, the joy of being a grandmother is wonderful.
I think it's time to do clean-up for a generation. I believe this is one of the movies that hits home for all colors and all races. Everybody I talk to, black or white, suburban, rich or poor, can relate to rejection, can relate to not having a father or a mother.
The most memorable night of The Judy Garland Show for me was the night my mother pulled me out of the audience and sang to me onstage.
My mother's life had been destroyed by the Garland legend.
When my mother signed at MGM, that was the only kind of contract you could sign. There was no such thing as an independent agent.
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.
The eyebrow pencil and false eyelashes were essential; my mother didn't feel dressed without them.
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.
The one thing I never questioned about my mother was whether she loved me.
The sicker mother got, the stranger the people surrounding her became. I called them The Garland Freaks.
Vincente understood all too well what was happening to Liza; he had gone through it 40 years earlier with my mother.
When I look back at The Judy Garland Show, I have such mixed feelings. It broke my mother's heart when they canceled it.
