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

You can call me an older woman - I don't mind that at all - just don't call me an old one, because I'm not.

You can't show me an ad on TV with hard bodies and say I have to buy that car. You have to tell me why that car is better and safer than another car.

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 was in kindergarten, I had one line in a little play. I said, I am Patrick Potato and this is my cousin, Mrs. Tomato, and I heard laughter. I wanted to be an actress from that moment on.

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