An entertainer should in his public performance keep himself out of any controversy, political or otherwise.

I could not separate myself off stage from myself on stage, as so many actors can.

Middle-aged women have greater stability, they are more loyal, and their capacity for steady work is greater than that of younger women.

There's no second chance on stage, and I was trained to make the most of my first chance.

I love animals to the extent that my home is my dog's home! Which means that nothing is too good for my Freckles-chairs, couches, beds. But I do draw the line on chipmunks nibbling at my table linens, bedding, blankets, etc.

Ice cream was my undoing, and six chocolate milk shakes in a row were nothing to me at one time.

I could see myself in a white nurse's uniform, working unnoticed for many years and at last dying, unknown, unmarried and unsung.
