doe easy
Easy does it is what I'm looking for,
wow needs talent
Tony Bennett said to me, "Wow, your talent is amazing." Maybe he's a bore, maybe he's a jerk, but when he said that to me, I didn't need anything more than that.
lunch long long-time
There will always be ladies who lunch. Always. And apparently they live a long time.
made havens
Why haven't I made more movies? Nobody asked me.
telling-the-truth
When you're dealing with your life, my God, you gotta tell the truth.
telling-the-truth realizing trouble
It's very disconcerting to start out and to say, "I'm going to tell the truth," and then to realize it's that much trouble.
should-have dancing knows
I don't know what should have happened in my life, but I do know that I'm dancing as fast as I can.
playing shoot work
When I'm playing comedy, it is such a crap shoot of what will work and what won't.
badly paid
When I want to do something badly enough, I do it, but there is a practical side of me that thinks I should be paid fairly.
funny
I'm funny when I want to be. And I'm even funny when I don't want to be.
experience performers technique
These performers that go on about their technique and craft - oh, puleeze! How boring! I don't know what 'technique' means. But I do know what experience is.
government tells understand
What I want to understand is what I am talking about on the stage. What I don't want to understand is what the government is talking about when the government tells me about taxes.
betty good image money taking white work
I could have made a lot of money doing 'Golden Girls,' and I would have been good. But the image of it! And for me to work with Betty White every day would be like taking cyanide.
hard stayed
I'm a hotel baby, absolutely: it's hard to think of a hotel I haven't stayed in.
