This nation loves singing and loves acting.
I have been extremely lucky with reviewers and critics throughout my career.
I am harder on myself than anyone else could be.
I have never known stage-fright at any time.
I sometimes get that wonderful sympathy between me and the audience, telling me I've reached their hearts. And when I do, the thrill is mine.
As soon as I began to earn what might be called fairly large sums, I bought a car and began to explore the country around New York.
