I've always taken 'The Wizard of Oz' very seriously, you know. I believe in the idea of the rainbow. And I've spent my entire life trying to get over it.

In the silence of night I have often wished for just a few words of love from one man, rather than the applause of thousands of people.

I've been in love with audiences all my life, and I've tried to please. I hope I did.

You are never so alone as when you are ill on stage. The most nightmarish feeling in the world is suddenly to feel like throwing up in front of four thousand people.

I've seen the ticket, and I still can't believe it. When I see the money, I hope I don't hit the floor.
