I haven't a clue why I've lasted so long. There's no reason. There are many people more talented than me. I think it's luck.

I am a part of history whether people want to take it seriously or not.

Until mankind is peaceful enough not to have violence on the news, there's no point in taking it out of shows that need it for entertainment value.

I really don't think of myself as a singer. I think of myself as an entertainer, and the best place I do it is onstage.

I remember a great America where we made everything. There was a time when the only thing you got from Japan was a really bad cheap transistor radio that some aunt gave you for Christmas.

I'm not gonna become Ann Bancroft or Meryl Streep and have all the burden that being a "serious actress" entails.

I have a belief: What belongs to you, comes to you.
