I feel that if entertainment is that important, the media, then it's my duty, not only to mankind but to God, to fulfill the promise that I carry on this work. If someone, for instance, can forget their pains and their ills and their strife by watching any performer then I think this work is worthwhile.

What you said hurt me very much. I cried all the way to the bank.

I had to dare a little bit. Who am I kidding-I had to dare a lot. Dont wear one ring, wear five or six. People ask how I can play with all those rings, and I reply, Very well, thank you.

Bette Midler can say four-letter words and make you love it.

I've done my bit for motion pictures-I've stopped making them.

Why don't I just step out and slip into something more spectacular?

You know the bank I used to cry all the way to. I bought it.
