There is nothing worse than having your personal problems become somebody else's entertainment.
I have never lost my faith in God.

My whole life was foretold to me. An old Romany gypsy read my fortune.
How could you get angry with Jackie Gleason?
My heritage has been my grounding, and it has brought me peace.
