My career at Warner Brothers consisted of one musical short subject. I was running around in a bear skin. Very chic.

Broadway has been very good to me. But then, I've been very good to broadway.

At a flea market I always head for the junk jewelry table first.

I was lucky enough to have the songs in my first show written by George and Ira Gershwin. Then Cole Porter wrote five shows for me.

As far as dramas are concerned, it's considered passe for playwrights to turn out anything the average person can understand.

I wouldn't change one thing about my professional life, and I make it a point not to dwell on my mistakes.
