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.

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

Before you go to bed, write down three 'gratefuls' for the day and three 'did wells' (they can even include something as simple as doing the laundry)-the results can be amazing!

Originally, I came from Texas, and we lived on - I guess you'd call it welfare, what we called relief.

I love the writing. I love the idea of typing and seeing it on the computer and printing it out myself and, you know, moving sentences around. I like that.

We don't stop going to school when we graduate.

I never regretted turning down anything, I never regretted losing a job because I always felt something else was out there.
