I miss the movies. Still, I understood that my kind of movie has had its day. I thought it was over for me.

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.

My belief also is that Marilyn Monroe passed away long before she should have left us.

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

I began as a true beginner, not knowing how to dance or perform. I just entered a local contest in town as a joke, because if you entered you got a free blouse and scarf.

I loved going to films, but as far as a movie buff, when I came into the movies at 16, life changed a little bit for me, from an onlooker to a person that lived within the industry. So now I would call myself a different sort of fan.

Never give power of attorney.
