I was born in my parents' bedroom on January 16. The World Almanac says it was 1909. I say it was 1912. But what difference does it make as long as I feel 33?

I work as often as I want and yet I'm free as a bird

I mentioned that I was thinking of getting out of the business after Call Me Madam. I thought maybe I should become a homebody.

I have plenty of invitations to go places, lots to do. If I'm not working, I go to have my hair taken care of and work at needlepoint

Any audience that gets a laugh out of me gets it while I'm facing them

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

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