 Politicians... talk in generalities and lies, and I think they've caused all our grief. They're so awful, they're really funny. I hate thinking this because my dad loved politics. |
| When I said I didn't have a cent, I didn't. I used to get annoyed with people who said they were broke when they had five dollars. |
| If I ever completely lost my nervousness I would be frightened half to death. |
| I don't understand why people don't remember my name. |
| A room is like a stage. If you see it without lighting, it can be the coldest place in the world. |
| It was the worst moment of my life. The producer came up and talked me back into going on stage. |
| My kitchen is not a place to live in. I made it white so I can tell instantly if it's not clean-and I like it clean enough to be able to eat off the floors-or the tables, for that matter. |
| Mothers don't want to pinch me or put me in their purse. |
| I can't even get three weeks off to have cosmetic surgery. |
| Learning lines is on my mind until I do know them. I'll read the paper or paint the house to keep from starting to memorize. I've never found an easy way. |
| Sandwiches are wonderful. You don't need a spoon or a plate! |
| I was obsessed with being rich and famous. |
| If I hadn't become a celebrity, I'd probably be an alcoholic. |
| My following is straight. I'm so glad. |
| I have this beautiful antique silver wine decanter that I bought at an auction. I always pour wine from that. |
| I often go on a liquid fast a couple of days a week. I never take just water. Instead, I'll have maybe six glasses of vegetable and fruit juices a day. |
| I don't know who the hell Paul Lynde is, or why he's funny, and I prefer it to be a mystery to me. |
| I feel now it's useless to keep hoping. The way things are today, we live in a world that needs laughter, and I've decided if I can make people laugh, I'm making a more important contribution. |
| Food was a constant topic of conversation in our household. |
