I find it easier to abstain than do a little bit of anything. I'm not a 'little bit' kind of dame. I want it all, whatever I do.

I don't wear a wig. I'd feel terrible onstage with a wig. I hate to be so 'Actors Studio'-ish, but I like to feel it's me out there.

When you're dealing with your life, my God, you gotta tell the truth.

I don't dislike the way I look. I think I look fine. I think I look extraordinary for 88. And I've got energy. Out of my way.

I have no intention of retiring. Even my blood sugar is better when I'm working.

I love reviews. Anybody who tells you they don't read reviews is a liar.

All you have to do is say, 'I'm going home,' and you're the most popular girl at the party.
