I loved working with Bette Davis. Bette Davis was great to work with and a wonderful teacher, and very kind to me. We became good friends.

[Marilyn Monroe] was a bit temperamental, a little diva-like, but she didn't deserve what she got.

I tour all year, 42 weeks a year, so it's hard for me to remember every place I play.

I live right in front of my daughter. I have a little house right in front of her because I can stay in touch. It's like a little commune, and it's very nice, because you can be close. I can see my granddaughter. I live very close to my brother, too, and my son. We're a very close family.

If I ever stop working, I might have a problem. But I never seem to be able to stop working.

I did win [on a contest]. And that started me on a new path, and into show business.

It's fun to get back to acting.
