It is very rewarding to walk out on stage, feeling the love and reception.

I think you should control yourself a little bit, so you can walk, and when you die, you can walk to your own funeral.

[Bob Fosse] was a temperamental fellow - it was his way or the highway.

When I was doing theater in the 1950's, 60's and 70's we weren't allowed to film any of the shows that I did, it was against union rules. It was a stupid law, because so much is lost. We now have no record of these famous stage plays, so it turned out to be very narrow-minded thinking.

We've lost a lot of our great stars. I can't hang out with those who aren't here. The phone service to heaven is so bad, you know. But I get to visit with their memories.

It's sad when you see someone do really well and then you just don't hear about them anymore.

The only way you learn is by failure.
