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

When I recorded for Columbia, I could usually do anything in one take...I would invariably want to use the first take because that would be the one that was spontaneous and fresh.

The happiest times in my life were the days when I was traveling with Les Brown and his band.

Killing an animal to make a coat is sin. It wasn't meant to be, and we have no right to do it.

I like to sing love songs.

I like joy; I want to be joyous; I want to have fun on the set; I want to wear beautiful clothes and look pretty. I want to smile and I want to make people laugh. And that's all I want. I like it. I like being happy. I want to make others happy.

If I can do it, you can do it. Anybody can.
