My father taught me to read music and play the piano-but not well, even though people have said that I'm a natural musician

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

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 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

Who's happy these days?

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