funny sexy waiting
From the moment I was six I felt sexy. And let me tell you it was hell, sheer hell, waiting to do something about it.

I will not retire while I've still got my legs and my make-up box.

Brought up to respect the conventions, love had to end in marriage. I'm afraid it did.
funny-marriage spices add
An affair now and then is good for a marriage. It adds spice, stops it from getting boring... I ought to know.
funny life witty
I'd luv to kiss ya, but I just washed my hair.
inspirational funny marriage
I'd marry again if I found a man who had fifteen million dollars, would sign over half to me, and guarantee that he'd be dead within a year.
pain fun matter

number performance
Performance number 1,000, if I play it that long, will take place in a well-padded booby-hatch.
That's me: an old kazoo with some sparklers.

Don't get up. And please stop acting as if I were the queen mother!

I was never beautiful like Miss Hayworth or Miss Lamarr. I was known as the little brown wren. Who'd want to get me at the end of the picture?
sake said
I never said anything that was unprintable. Never said anything just for the sake of being startling.
home thinking work-out
Actually, I think business women are better women at home, if you want to know the truth because you do understand what goes into a day's work out in the world, a very nerve-racking affair.
