I'll just stay in [show business] till they stuff me like Trigger, when I drop dead.

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.

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

I loved Frank [O'Connor], he was wonderful...just don't get on his bad side. I don't think I would have wanted to marry him, but I probably should have since I married idiots anyway.

I just keep traveling and doing live shows.

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.

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