I'm the original take-orders girl.

I was born in a lovely white house with a garden.

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

As for my feelings toward "Over the Rainbow", it's become part of my life. It is so symbolic of all dreams and wishes that I'm sure that's why people sometimes get tears in their eyes when they hear it.

You know something? I'm decent! There isn't a great deal of decency in the world, especially in our business, and I'm one of the few really decent ladies around.

Hollywood is a strange place if you're in trouble. Everybody thinks it's contagious.

People en masse have always been wonderful to me. I truly have a great love for an audience...I want to give them two hours of just pow.
