You just don't know in life. Life knocks you about and pushes you over boundaries. But be ready. Do your homework; that's all I can say.

I was raised never to carp about things and never to moan, because in vaudeville, which is my background, you just got on with it through all kinds of adversities.

Sometimes opportunities float right past your nose. Work hard, apply yourself, and be ready. When an opportunity comes you can grab it.

I know I probably have a lot of rage in me that I don't show. But I'm not about to wallow in it or reveal it.

Behaving like a princess is work. It's not just about looking beautiful or wearing a crown. It's more about how you are inside.

I'm never sure one is exactly ready. You jump in, with both feet, into a very big fish pond.
