    Quotes

    Candice Azzara
    • "Growing up in Brooklyn prepared me for show business. At home Dad created his own one-man band playing harmonica, guitar, and cymbals. My parents would sing country western songs, yodeling, while my sisters, brother and I would sing along and dance. My neighborhood was filled with comics, high drama and boys singing on the corners."
    • "I will always thank my parents for the colorful, creative life they introduced me to. Mom was always my biggest fan. She was always in the audience. She's in heaven now yet I still feel her in the audience."
