But Patsy, she was a great, great girl. And Brenda Lee is a wonderful person, and her mama Grace. I've known those folks for years and years and years.

I loved to eat. For all of Hollywood's rewards, I was hungry for most of those 20 years.

I followed the same diet for 20 years, eliminating starches, living on salads, lean meat, and small portions.

In later years, I craved foods that were almost always fattening.

For years it never occurred to me to question the judgment of those in charge at the studio.

No, but women are saying, and they say, are you crazy? But because they've had children since they were 20 years old. I haven't. So I had a child when I was 43, and now he's really out with his friends.

Ten years ago, Republicans decided it was time to reform our broken welfare system and give welfare recipients the tools they needed to escape the system and build a better life.

I spent the first fourteen years of my life convinced that my looks were hideous. Adolescence is painful for everyone, I know, but mine was plain weird.

Modeling is basically 'Buy more stuff! Don't you want some more stuff? It will make you look ten years younger and men will like you!' If I'd wanted to be a salesperson, I would have got a job selling.

There is something about a poet which leads us to believe that he died, in many cases, as long as 20 years before his birth.

I'm 65 and I guess that puts me in with the geriatrics. But if there were fifteen months in every year, I'd only be 48. That's the trouble with us. We number everything. Take women, for example. I think they deserve to have more than twelve years between the ages of 28 and 40.

Boys are beyond the range of anybody's sure understanding, at least when they are between the ages of 18 months and 90 years.

Did I think it would last 30 years? No, I didn't think it would have those kind of legs.

I'm talking like 10, 12 years old. Either junior brings Mom and Pop or Mom and Pop bring the kids. I'm talking young here, not a college drinking crowd.

We've plotted through the years of how to get to here, where we are now, or we would have never made it.
