I couldn't walk for almost three years. That was the greatest thing that happened. Instead of dancing, I sang.

I think everything in my life has led to my animal welfare work.

If there is a heaven, I'm sure Rock Hudson is there because he was such a kind person.

I had a wonderful family including my aunts, uncles and cousins but they've all gone to heaven.

Some of the downbeat pictures, in my opinion, should never be made at all. Most of them are made for personal satisfaction, to impress other actors who say "Oh, God! what a shot, what camera work!" But the average person in the audience, who bought his ticket to be entertained, doesn't see that at all. He comes out depressed.

The one radio voice that I listened to above others belonged to Ella Fitzgerald. There was a quality to her voice that fascinated me, and I'd sing along with her, trying to catch the subtle ways she shaded her voice, the casual yet clean way she sang the words.

I like Michael Buble.
