I figure if I keep my health, I have no intention of retiring. I love to work. I want to be like Bob Hope.

With the first money I ever made I bought my Mommy and Daddy a car, and helped them fix their house up.

I know when something ain't right, and I know exactly what I will or won't tolerate.

You don't see too many atheists on the deathbed. They all start cramming then.

If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold, I'd have all the treasures my pockets could hold.

I think my life actually changed at 40. That's when you realize you can't ride the fence anymore. You either have to get on one side or the other. I think some of my best years were between 40 and 50: I got my priorities straight and life is good to me now. It's only other people who say, "God, she's 50 years old!" as if I'm over the hill. I feel like I just started.

My first phone was two tin cans tied together with string, and it worked pretty good.
