I stayed in show business to pay for my animal business.

A good friend of mine was Lucy Ball. Her mother and my mother were best friends.

A lady likes to be complimented on her looks, her eyes, her figure. But the personality comments are much appreciated.

I love words. Sudoku I don't get into, I'm not into numbers that much, and there are people who are hooked on that. But crossword puzzles, I just can't - if I get a puppy and I paper train him and I put the - if all of a sudden I'd open the paper and there's a crossword puzzle - 'No, no, you can't go on that, honey. I'll take it.'

I go out to the kitchen to feed the dog, but that's about as much cooking as I do.

I'm a big cockeyed optimist. I try to accentuate the positive as opposed to the negative.

I am interested in a lot of things - not just show business and my passion for animals. I try to keep current in what's going on in the world. I do mental exercises. I don't have any trouble memorizing lines because of the crossword puzzles I do every day to keep my mind a little limber. I don't sit and vegetate.
