Broadway has been very good to me. But then, I've been very good to broadway.

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

I wasn't straining at the bit to become a movie star any more than I had plotted to get out of vaudeville and into Broadway musicals

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

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.

Cole Porter wrote Anything Goes and four more hits for me

Who's happy these days?
