I'm a big believer that Marilyn Monroe was killed.

I do an act, and I've been doing an act for 50 years. I do a variety show, which is a musical comedy show. I do comedy, and I do singing, Broadway show tunes and different songs that I like. Been doing it for many, many years.

I always found that kind of hard, and even though Gene Kelly was also a taskmaster, Bobby [Fosse] was tougher.

You have to keep practicing, if you're really going to be good.

I'll be like Irving Berlin: "There's no business like show business."

I wanted to be as comfortable in that environment as she was. I moved around those areas in character.

Donald O'Connor was in the film [ 'Singin' in the Rain' ] as well, and he was only 27 years old. So we were closer in age, and had more fun together on the set. Gene was more my teacher and mentor.
