When I was four or five, my father had a general store in Winchester and I don't think the farmers could ever leave on Saturday afternoon until I had been placed up on the counter to sing.

I can't remember a time when I wasn't singing.

Tennis is like a wonderful, longstanding relationship with a husband. Golf is a tempestuous, lousy lover; it's totally unpredicatable, a constant surprise.

I never wanted to set the world on fire. So I never had to burn any bridges behind me.

Bing Crosby sings like all people think they sing in the shower.

Trouble is part of your life

I earn and pay my own way as a great many women do today.
