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

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

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.

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.

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

I'm learning something all the time. That's the way I want it to go, and that's the way I'll go until I am no longer on this planet.

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.
