I earn and pay my own way as a great many women do today. Why should unmarried women be discriminated against - unmarried men are not.

I never wanted to set the world on fire. So I never had to burn any bridges behind me.

Trouble is a part of life, and if you don't share it, you don't give the person who loves you enough chance to love you enough.

I'd like people to remember that I really tried everything within my range of reality. And that whatever I did, I did with all my heart.

Tennis is like a wonderful, longstanding relationship with a husband. Golf is a tempestuous, lousy lover; it's totally unpredicatable, a constant surprise.

Trouble is part of your life

And I've never taken up a sport just because it was a social fad.

It's a faithless love, but you hit four good shots and you've started your day right.

When I was four or five, my father had a general store in Winchester and I don't think the farmers could ever leave on Saturday afternoon until I had been placed up on the counter to sing.

Bing Crosby sings like all people think they sing in the shower.

There's a light somewhere.It may not be much light butit beats the darkness.

I've learned to never expect or require performances that exceed the player's ability. If they just equal their ability, that's what you want.
