I was born and raised in China, and my parents were missionaries.

Steve is very quiet, even shy. I am very gregarious. So, opposites.

I would write plays for my grandmother, who was stone deaf, my mother and the dog, that was our audience.

I feel very sorry for women who continue to purchase real fur coats. They are lacking in a woman's most important requisites, heart and sensitivity.

My father was a good preacher and had a little bit of drama.

The best people I know have had a lot of obstacles to overcome.

My mother was the dearest, sweetest angel. She didn't talk; she sang. She was a tower of strength.

I cannot write music. I cannot play the piano.

There is only one secret. To love what you are doing.

Marriage, even the best marriages are tough.

I just loved and love life. I love it today.

I am a citizen of the world.

The ancient feud between cat and dog is not forgotten in the north, for the Lynx is the deadly foe of the Fox and habitually kills it when there is soft snow and scarcity of easier prey.

I'm very blessed and fortunate that people want to go see my movies.

A saint is never consciously a saint- a saint is consciously dependent on God.

You'll see a lot of funny stuff, you'll see a lot of daddy knows best stuff, you'll see a lot of me and my wife trying to hold the family together.

When the yearning for living ends, there can be no more birth.

I didn't even graduate from high school. I've never told anybody that before. I got my degree later, when I was in the army.
