there were times when I was more at home in front of millions of people than I was at home.

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

I had a good loud voice and I wasn't afraid to be goofy or zany.

You know, one wonderful thing that came out of my Enquirer experience is that, in my case, it was ruled tabloids are magazines. Which means they didn't have the protection that a newspaper has.

The audience is never wrong.

You have to have faith that there is a reason you go through certain things. I can't say I'm glad to go through pain, but in a way one must, in order to gain courage and really feel joy.

My grandmother and I followed my mother here, to a house a block north of Hollywood Boulevard but a million miles away from Hollywood, if you know what I mean. We would hang out behind the ropes and look at the movie stars arriving at the premieres.
