Marilyn Monro wasn't the brightest person in the world - that didn't make a difference one way or the other - but she was giving and kind. And that's what got her in trouble. She was so giving and kind to all of these people she met that she found herself doing these things that she didn't want to do.

I've always believed that service to others is rent we pay for our time on this planet.

That so many people respond to me is fabulous. It is like having a kind of Alzheimer's disease, where everyone knows you and you don't know anyone.

But my longevity is due to my good timing.

I enjoy being recognized whatever environment I'm in.

I used to be good friends with my depression, saying oh I'm so depressed, or life is terrible.

Hollywood ... the most sensational merry-go-around ever built.
