I used to be good friends with my depression, saying oh I'm so depressed, or life is terrible.
On kissing Marilyn Monroe: It's like kissing Hitler.
If you don't know your gift, you've got no lift.
When I was in bed with Marilyn Monroe, I was never sure before, during or after, where her mind was.
I can't sit around and wait for the telephone to ring.
I don't know what organically grown chickens are; I've never seen one.
Everywhere I go in the world, people know me and recognise me and really show affection for me.
The movie business is very twisted, out of site, out of mind, you know.
I will always remember this summer day in Paris, when I was to perform a great acrobatic move. I can still see myself stepping on the ring of a packed circus along real performers.
I've just opened a show in Florida, although I also have many pieces on display around the world.
I like Vegas for its spontaneity.
But my longevity is due to my good timing.
Every movie I've been in has ended up on television.
I wouldn't be caught dead marrying a woman old enough to be my wife.
