Debbie Gibson People Quotations

There are those people out there that live to destroy communities. Im just afraid that one happened to get elected here,

What we found is that there is a whole network of people who are college age and older, who are fairly well educated and are looking for an alternative to what's on pop radio. They are into books, movies, and go to cappuccino bars instead of alcohol bars-they are actually a lot like me.

I think that celebrities should never underestimate their power. I mean just to draw attention, because then people get involved on a personal level.

This business is about working. It's really not about glamour. For me, the most glamorous thing about it is to b able to get on stage and perform my music for people. That's the privilege. And that's what all the work leads up to, and that's why it's worth it to me.

The ideal situation would be to bypass all of the drama and mayhem and just get the music right to the people. I'm confident that we'll eventually figure it out.

I spent a lot of my life schlepping around New York with people not doing things for me.

I don't know if people feel this way, but I think by nature that when you start off as a young pop singer, they assume that you're a bit pampered, prissy, and precious, or that you live in a bubble and not in the real world. For me that's not the case.

I've been sponsoring kids in Manila, for like, 6 years. And I got to meet them. Now, how many people write away in the mail... you don't even know if these organizations are for real. So, there are examples of the power of music that come into play, like that, where I go, 'This is great. This is amazing that I'm here with these kids.'

The cool thing is that people have been so responsive to my work on stage that I've actually had to turn things down. I have so many things I want to do, from flying an airplane to writing a symphony, and doing motivational speaking to groups of teenagers. Making records is now only one part of a great big picture in my life.

And I always had people telling me, 'You can't do this. You're from Long Island, how do you expect to be on Broadway? You can't go into the city and be on Broadway.' What do you mean? It's an hour away! Of course I can be on Broadway someday.'
