Mom never quit on me. My only regret is that she didn't live long enough to share some of the money and comforts my work in show business has brought me.

I have no acting technique I act instinctively. That's why I can't play any role that isn't based on something in my life.

My aunts lived on liquor and seldom felt like eating much. I don't know what's wrong about a kid stealing when he's hungry.

You are a person of the greatest importance when you are a mother of the family.
