If I don’t laugh at least three times during the day, I’ve had a bad day. I’ve got to have a minimum of at least three good laughs. I wouldn’t have survived without my sense of humor, and thank God I have always been able to laugh at myself.

I haven’t had an easy life, but it sure hasn’t been a dull one. And I’m pretty proud of the way this gal has held up.

If I’d been given a magical glimpse into my future, if I could have foreseen everything that was going to happen to me, all the headlines my life would make, all the people who would pass through my days, I wouldn’t have believed a syllable of it!

[on relationships] Today things are very different, and I think they’re healthier. People fall in love and move in together, and nobody bats an eye. They get to know each other first, to see if their romance can survive the mundane things like whether or not he picks up after himself, or she leaves hair in the sink. Or that all-important question of sharing expenses, each one pulling his or her weight. Honeymoon first, and if it lasts, then marriage. I like that.
