I guess the only way I could describe myself is someone that lives right in the present.

I really don't look at my past and I really don't look too much to the future because I find that's sort of redundant. I really live right in the present. I live right in the now.

My mother's life had been destroyed by the Garland legend.

The sicker mother got, the stranger the people surrounding her became. I called them The Garland Freaks.

I'm extraordinarily honored and proud when I am told that I am part of the Broadway community and part of the Broadway family. Because, Broadway is a family. And it doesn't matter if you did one show or if you did fifty shows.

When I got a call from Los Angeles to do the Tonight Show, I considered it more of an inconvenience than an opportunity.

My mother should have been Jewish. She could have taught a class on how to induce guilt.
