• After being diagnosed with heart disease: “I consult with God, my maker. And I don't have a lot of problems to work out. I'm pretty squared away.“
• “My body's a real mess. If you look at it in the mirror, it's just completely convex and concave. I've become one of those poor little women who's bent sideways. My X-rays are hysterical.”
• "One problem with people who have no vices is that they're pretty sure to have some annoying virtues."
• When asked if she would get married again: "What? Are you kidding??"
• "I don't pretend to be an ordinary housewife."
• "My mother says I didn't open my eyes for eight days after I was born, but when I did, the first thing I saw was an engagement ring. I was hooked."
• "Success is a great deodorant. It takes away all your past smells."
• "Some of my best leading men have been dogs and horses."
• "I don't look too bad for someone my age, with my history of illnesses and operations and all those anaesthetics. When they knock you out, it gives you time to catch up on your beauty sleep."
• "When you're fat, the world is divided into two groups--people who bug you and people who leave you alone. The funny thing is, supporters and saboteurs exist in either camp."
• "I don't remember much about Cleopatra. There were alot of other things going on."
• "What do you expect me to do? Sleep alone?"
• "I had a hollow leg. I could drink everyone under the table and not get drunk. My capacity was terrifying."
