The only things I read are gossip columns. If I read three pages of a book, I'm out like a light. When I pick up the book again, I've forgotten what I've read and have to start over again. By page three, even if I've just awakened from a nine -hour nap, I fall asleep again. So if anyone gives me a book, it had better have lots of pictures.

I can never remember being afraid of an audience. If the audience could do better, they'd be up here on stage and I'd be out there watching them.

I'll pat myself on the back and admit I have talent. Beyond that, I just happened to be in the right place at the right time

I wouldn't change one thing about my professional life, and I make it a point not to dwell on my mistakes

Mom and Pop were proud of my popularity, but from their point of view, show business was no way to make a living.

Be yourself -- it's the one thing you can do better than anyone else.

Who's happy these days?
