I never thought I'd land in pictures with a face like mine.

I was asked to act when I couldn't act. I was asked to sing 'Funny Face' when I couldn't sing, and dance with Fred Astaire when I couldn't dance - and do all kinds of things I wasn't prepared for. Then I tried like mad to cope with it.

Let's face it, a nice creamy chocolate cake does a lot for a lot of people; it does for me.

I never think of myself as an icon. What is in other people's minds is not in my mind. I just do my thing.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.

If I'm honest I have to tell you I still read fairy-tales and I like them best of all.
