I love to write. I have always loved writing. That was my first love.

I'm glad I was born when I was. My time was the golden age of variety. If I were starting out again now, maybe things would happen for me, but it certainly would not be on a variety show with 28 musicians, 12 dancers, two major guest stars, 50 costumes a week by Bob Mackie - the networks just wouldn't spend the money today.

What I do when I write is I just write the way I would tell it, so it comes out just exactly the way I would talk to you.

Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me.

I liked myself better when I wasnt me.

You do have to love your kids enough to let them hate you. But it's the disease that's hating you, not them.

What I like to write about is stuff I know. I don't think I could write a novel. I don't think I have it in me to come up with those kinds of characters.
