Paula Abdul's Quotes

  • [on her style of choreography] When people expect me to go right, I'll go left. I'm unpredictable.
  • When you wish upon a star, you just might become one.
  • My niece used to share my phone number with her closest friends at school, which led to me getting calls from young people I didn't recognize. I'd answer the phone and get a squeal of "Oh, God, it's HER!"
