I don't give parties, and I'm not in that social scene. I couldn't care less.

I guess a lot of things happen still.

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

[Las Vegas in the early 1960] was thrilling, exciting... I would describe it as very Parisian.

Weight has never been a problem with me because when you dance, it just stays off.

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 working with Bette Davis. Bette Davis was great to work with and a wonderful teacher, and very kind to me. We became good friends.
