In Hollywood now when people die they don't say, 'Did he leave a will?' but 'Did he leave a diary?'

If we had a hard time, my mother would sit me down and we would talk about it, and she kept talking and kept processing until we started to laugh about it.

The director, of course, was Bob Fosse. But again, I worked with my father to prepare for the role.

It's a waste of time to think about what I should have done and what I didn't. I really believe in that. That's how I react to the if-onlys of life. To moan and groan about something I shouldn't have done, could have done, might have done...who knows? It is what it is. You got what you got. I live my life one day at a time.

She (Judy Garland) was a friend of mine, a trying friend, but a friend. That is what I tell myself: She did everything she ever wanted to do. She never really denied herself anything for me. See, I say, she had a wonderful life; she did what she wanted to do. And I have no right to change her fulfillment into my misery. I'm on my own broom now.

Growing up in Hollywood it seemed like every kid was the child of some star.

You see, that's another thing that my parents gave me: an enormously great sense of humor.
