I have been ambitious to be a somebody from the time I was 5 years old

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

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

I take a breath when I have to.

I wouldn't trust any man as far as you can throw a piano

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

I've never suffered stage fright. That fascinates people.
