Cole Porter had a worldwide reputation as a sophisticate and hedonist

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

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

[Cole Porter] sang like a hinge.

As far as dramas are concerned, it's considered passe for playwrights to turn out anything the average person can understand

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.
