Everybody's a teacher if you listen.

I don't give in, I don't give up, I don't take no for an answer.

With my talent, I can make people laugh and give them another attitude about life. What a blessing that is for me.

Love them for who they are, and what they are they are; they are not you. Good stuff, isn't it? You have to live 73 years to get that.

I used to sit near Marilyn Monroe in the Actor's Studio. She'd get dressed up because that was her identity. Sad. Those cameras wouldn't leave her alone. She didn't know where to hide.

When I go, if there's a tombstone it will say, She doesn't give in. She doesn't give up. And she never takes no for an answer.

The minute you're born, you're getting older.
