So by the time I got to Michigan I was a stutterer. I couldn't talk. So my first year of school was my first mute year and then those mute years continued until I got to high school.

People who lusted after Marilyn Monroe had no idea she stuttered. It is the secret of her sexiness, actually.

In our resolve to build a better world... we seek to summon what Abraham Lincoln called the better angels of our nature.

Stuttering is painful. In Sunday school, I'd try to read my lessons, and the children behind me were falling on the floor with laughter.

There is a very fine line between love and nausea.

I don't ever want to be a sentimentalist. I prefer to be a realist. I'm not a romantic really.

I knew real show business from my father, who had been an actor since he left the world of boxing.
