With her new movie Burlesque (and accompanying soundtrack) coming out soon, Cher is back in the spotlight again.
In a great new interview for December’s issue of Vanity Fair, she touches on various hot topics such as American politics, her daughter-turned-son Chaz and aging in Hollywood.
Here are some of her best quotes:
On aging:
“I think Meryl [Streep] is doing it great. The stupid bitch is doing it better than all of us! But I don’t like it. It’s getting in my way. I have a job to do, and it’s making my job harder.
I’ve been screaming at the top of my lungs at my family, ‘Work out! Work out! Old age is coming!’ At some point you will need the strength. Who would have ever thought you would get this old?”
On her daughter turned son Chaz:
“If I woke up tomorrow in a guy’s body, I would just kick and scream and cry and fucking rob a bank, because I cannot see myself as anything but who I am—a girl. I would not take it as well as Chaz has. I couldn’t imagine it.” While Cher remains a proud mother, she admits to Smith that she still gets confused: “She’s a very smart girl—boy! This is where I get into trouble. My pronouns are fucked. I still don’t remember to call her ‘him.’”
On Sarah Palin:
“I got so obsessed with [C-SPAN] that it was kind of interfering with my life,” Cher told the magazine. “Sarah Palin came on, and I thought, Oh, f—, this is the end. Because a dumb woman is a dumb woman.”
On Arizona governor Jan Brewer:
“She was worse than Sarah Palin, if that is possible,” said Cher. “This woman was like a deer in headlights. She’s got a handle on the services of the state, and I would not let her handle the remote control.”
American TV bosses: please give this woman her own talk show.
