I was an only child, and Mother was always right with me all my life. I used to get very angry at her when I was growing up-it's a natural thing.

I've come too far, and I don't know how to get back.

I like pork chops and country ham, creamed potatoes, stuff like that. Redeye gravy. It comes from ham, bacon, stuff like that. It's the grease that you fry it in. I eat a lot of Jell-O. Fruit Jell-O.

The only exercise I get is on the stage. If I didn't get that, I'd get a little round around the tummy, as much as I eat.

I get tired of singing to the guys I beat up in motion pictures.

We're the perfect combination. Colonel's an old carny, and me, I'm off the wall.

I saw three shrimp in the water, two were old and gray. I swam a little closer, and I heard the third one say, good-bye Mama.
