I'm sure any vocal teacher that listens to me would rather cut my throat than do anything - I do everything all wrong - but I think for me that's the best - because I don't think I have a voice so I think what I project would be style - if I learned to sing I'd lose my style.

I'd retired for about six or seven years. Coming back to the business, I found that I was sort of not quite a has-been, and it wasn't a new career, it was just kind of difficult to crack the nut, so to speak.

The one appearance that I made for President Kennedy, he, as I understand, had his choice or was asked to make a list of the people he would like to have perform, and I was fortunate enough to be one of them.

I think that's one of the most difficult things in any marriage - in order to build anything, you must be together. You can't build anything over the telephone.

If it's an excellent script, I enjoy it tremendously, the acting part of it.

The acting was first. As a teenager I was an actress; and then I came back as a singer.
