I've never met an animal I didn't like, and I can't say the same thing about people.
If it's true that men are such beasts, this must account for the fact that most women are animal lovers.
I like joy; I want to be joyous; I want to have fun on the set; I want to wear beautiful clothes and look pretty. I want to smile, and I want to make people laugh. And that's all I want. I like it. I like being happy. I want to make others happy.
If I'd find a dog, I'd try to find the owner, of course, but it was mine! I just can't live without them; I love them so much. I have cats, too. People call me all the time and say, 'We know of a couple of cats people don't care for,' and I say, 'Bring them!' That's it - two words. I'm always open for that.
If there is a Heaven, I'm sure Rock Hudson is there because he was such a kind person.
Wrinkles are hereditary. Parents get them from their children.
I'm tired of being thought of as Miss Goody Two-Shoes... the girl next door, Miss Happy-Go-Lucky.
Middle age is youth without levity, and age without decay.
The happiest times in my life were the days when I was traveling with Les Brown and his band.
I always feel a rise in my scalp or in the backs of my wrists when something is special, whether it be a song or a man.
Any girl can look glamorous... just stand there and look stupid.
When I was a teeny little girl, I was in dancing school, and I sang. We had to put a dance to a song, so I went to the 10-cent store one day and looked at all the sheet music. It was all laid out, and I picked 'Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries.'
It was the only ambition I ever had - not to be a dancer or Hollywood movie star, but to be a housewife in a good marriage.
Vulgarity begins when imagination succumbs to the explicit.
I don't even like parties.
I had a wonderful family including my aunts, uncles and cousins but they've all gone to heaven.
Well I do find the beauty in animals. I find beauty everywhere. I find beauty in my garden.
I'm going to do as much as I can for the animal world, and I'll never stop.
I never retired.
Sometimes I think I should have stayed longer and I should have done more films.
