{{quote|''I want my funeral to be a huge showbiz affair with lights, cameras, action. I want Craft services, I want paparazzi and I want publicists making a scene! I want it to be Hollywood all the way. ... I don’t want some rabbi rambling on; I want Meryl Streep crying, in five different accents. ... I want to look gorgeous, better dead than I do alive. I want to be buried in a Valentino gown and I want Harry Winston to make me a toe tag... And I want a wind machine so that even in the casket my hair is blowing like Beyoncé’s.''}}
