The young people today are really so creative and talented - I mean, the ones who are really are and they get together and produce and create. They're an entirely different breed from what I was when I was their age.

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

Marilyn Monroe was a very sweet girl, she was a very innocent girl.

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 feel sorry for the young people today. I think there's too much paparazzi and not enough protection.

Do I run around deploring the world? No. I'm just not into it. I was brought up that way.

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