"Anything is possible in this world. I really believe that"
About this Quote
The intent feels twofold: self-assertion and audience transmission. Minnelli’s career was built on making improbability look inevitable - turning nerves into choreography, pain into punchlines, chaos into a spotlight-ready persona. In that context, possibility isn’t abstract. It’s craft. It’s the daily act of walking onstage and betting, again, that the room can be won.
The subtext is more interesting than the optimism: anything is possible, including disaster. Including reinvention. Including a comeback that arrives after people have written you off. In an industry that treats women’s aging as a genre change, “possible” becomes a quiet refusal to be archived. It’s also a classic performer’s bargain: the world is brutal, but it’s also porous, and a determined person can slip through the cracks.
Culturally, the line lands as old-school entertainment grit dressed up as sparkle - the belief system of someone raised in the era when mythmaking was part of the job description. Minnelli isn’t promising outcomes; she’s choosing a posture. And for a performer whose whole life has been watched, that posture is power.
