foot home love loved soon
As soon as my foot is in the light onstage, I am home. It is what I love to do. It is what I have always loved to do.
awful couple learn life roads
You look at the road you could have taken, you know, I just think that's interesting... I've been on a lot of roads and I had to hitchhike on a couple of 'em... I have to be very honest: There's not an awful lot of regret in my life. I think that, you know, you learn from everything, and then, sometimes, you don't.
came exactly hoped life living lots movies people saw simple since
I came to Southbury because I wanted to live a more simple life. When I was a child, I saw lots of movies about happy people living in Connecticut. And ever since then, that was where I wanted to live. I thought it would be like the movies. And it really is. It's exactly what I hoped it would be.

I'm one of those people who always needs a mountain to climb. When I get up a mountain as far as I think I'm going to get, I try to find another mountain.

The interesting thing about me is that I was born poor, and I've lived rich and I've lived poor, and I know how to do both. People think rich is better. I don't know.
life possibly struck suddenly
It suddenly struck me - I'm 70 years old. I wonder if I could possibly end my life the way I started it: doing the most joyful thing I ever did, which is to sing.
When I was young, they just gave me the lead. And when I got old, they wouldn't see me at all.
running years old-friends
The thing is, when you see your old friends, you come face to face with yourself. I run into someone I've known for 40 or 50 years, and they're old. And I suddenly realize I'm old. It comes as an enormous shock to me.
girl war years
Show me a woman content with her figure and I'll show you a seven-year-old girl. Everybody else is engaged in the war against flab.
insecurity imitation form
Imitation is the sincerest form of insecurity.
smoking age
Smoking ages you quicker than almost anything else.
beautiful baltimore towns
Baltimore is one of the most beautiful towns, really. And trust me, I don't say that about every place. There is just something so quaint, old and beautiful about this place.
house secret earning
The secret Ive lived by ever since I started earning money is this: Always buy a house with an extra bedroom adjoining the master. And thats always my closet.
stars ambitious singers
I was fanatically ambitious. All I ever wanted was to be a star. I didnt want to be a singer. I didnt want to be an actress. I wanted to be a star.
