I have found that when you are deeply troubled, there are things you get from the silent devoted companionship of a dog that you can get from no other source.

I've been through everything. I always said I was like those round-bottomed circus dolls — you know, those dolls you could push down and they'd come back up? I've always been like that. I've always said, No matter what happens, if I get pushed down, I'm going to come right back up.

I don't even like parties.

I love to laugh.It's the only way to live. Enjoy each day-it's not coming back again!

It was the only ambition I ever had - not to be a dancer or Hollywood movie star, but to be a housewife in a good marriage.

I always felt that making a living wasn't the easiest thing in the world, and I decided I was going straight ahead and try to be as uncomplicated as possible. The important thing in life is just living and loving.

I always feel a rise in my scalp or in the backs of my wrists when something is special, whether it be a song or a man.
