There's such a thing as theater discipline. One player doesn't appropriate another's inventions

I can hold a note as long as the Chase National Bank.

I take a breath when I have to.

In my case, things have pretty much been handed to me

I've made a wonderful living playing that theatrical character - the professional brassy dame

I was lucky enough to have the songs in my first show written by George and Ira Gershwin. Then Cole Porter wrote five shows for me

I am known to be able to take care of myself when I become angry. I don't mince words.
