I've never had guys sit me down and say this is what you've got to do. It's my personality that makes me one of a kind, and I believe that.

The transformation has been unbelievable. When I started here, I worked in a place where the Sky Room was on the second floor.

When you're 18, you're just so busy being scared and having fun - a crazy mixture - that you never thought of dying.

You got to have a lot of courage. Secondly, whatever it is you're doing you have to believe in it wholeheartedly. Thirdly, you have to be able to stand up in front of people and know that they'll laugh.

You know what's funny to me? Attitude.

Everything I do on stage, I made up in saloons. I started doing it in front of people, and that became my performance. I never had writers.

Who am I to judge is what I say. I'm 90 years old, for crying out loud, and I don't sit in any chariot.
