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

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

Of my four marriages, the one to Bob Levitt is the only one I don't regret

I remember Tallulah (Bankhead) telling of going into a public ladies' room and discovering there was no toilet tissue. She looked underneath the booth and said to the lady in the next stall, 'I beg your pardon, do you happen to have any toilet tissue in there?' The lady said no. So Tallulah said, 'Well, then, dahling, do you have two fives for a ten?'

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

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
