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

You probably only know what you've read [about Marilyn Monroe].You didn't know her. The people who talk about her didn't know her either.

I would never stop watching film. The reason why I say I like the old ones is I like the subject matter better. I thought they had more variety to them, they had more romantic comedies and things that appealed to me more.

I do a lot of things wrong. I lose my temper, and I hate waiting in line, but do I take drugs? No.

I also have a pair of ruby red slippers from the 'Wizard of Oz' and Dorothy's gingham dress...and on and on. I saved as much as I could and still do, because people are still interested in it.

I don't have to retire to be happy.

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