I can buy and sell any of these people who are always criticizing me.

The reason we shot it was that the script was geared to Las Vegas and it was something commercial that we wanted to have in the can in case Butterfly was a success and we needed a follow-up.

I'm just not comfortable with that society stuff. I mean, we were just invited to the White House, but my husband won't take me because he knows I don't want to go.

Stubborn opposition to proposals often has no other basis than the complaining question, 'Why wasn't I consulted?'

We can do nothing without prayer. All things can be done by importunate prayer. That is the teaching of Jesus Christ

I do have a lot of female friends who are stand-ups and also women who are actresses and also happen to have an act.

Good fathers not only tell us how to live, they show us.

Loyalty is such a rare quality; but my fans are the most loyal in the world.
