I wanted to be a radio announcer.

I sing all day. And it's good for you. Good for your vocal cords.

I asked Fred Astaire once when he was about my age if he still danced, and he said 'Yes, but it hurts now.' That's exactly it. I can still dance too, but it hurts now!

You have to be able to laugh at yourself. Attitude is almost more important than what happens to you.

I've made peace with insecurity... because there is no security of any kind.

When I was a kid, I had ambitions for being a television announcer, which was before television took off, you know, in the late 40s. And just through necessity, going out looking for work, I was starting to sing, and dance, and act, and I never expected to do that, nor to have any success at it at least.

The secret to keeping moving is keeping moving.
