I like joy; I want to be joyous; I want to have fun on the set; I want to wear beautiful clothes and look pretty. I want to smile, and I want to make people laugh. And that's all I want. I like it. I like being happy. I want to make others happy.Collection: Smile
Gratitude is riches. Complaint is poverty.
I've never met an animal I didn't like, and I can't say the same thing about people.
I'm tired of being thought of as Miss Goody Two-Shoes... the girl next door, Miss Happy-Go-Lucky.
Wrinkles are hereditary. Parents get them from their children.
I had a wonderful family including my aunts, uncles and cousins but they've all gone to heaven.
Any girl can look glamorous... just stand there and look stupid.
I'm going to do as much as I can for the animal world, and I'll never stop.
If it's true that men are such beasts, this must account for the fact that most women are animal lovers.
I like to sing love songs.
I've just always loved animals.
When I was a teeny little girl, I was in dancing school, and I sang.
I like Michael Buble.
I liked being married instead of the girl who's looking for a guy.
I don't even like parties.
I don't know if I want to get married again.
I never retired.
The happiest times in my life were the days when I was traveling with Les Brown and his band.
If there is a Heaven, I'm sure Rock Hudson is there because he was such a kind person.
I rented a place that I could have dogs - not in my house. I rented a big place. And I was able to have the SPCA every end of the week bring many, many dogs to me. They all were in nice places, clean, everything was fine. I took good care of them. And so many people called.
If I'd find a dog, I'd try to find the owner, of course, but it was mine! I just can't live without them; I love them so much. I have cats, too. People call me all the time and say, 'We know of a couple of cats people don't care for,' and I say, 'Bring them!' That's it - two words. I'm always open for that.
When I was a teeny little girl, I was in dancing school, and I sang. We had to put a dance to a song, so I went to the 10-cent store one day and looked at all the sheet music. It was all laid out, and I picked 'Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries.'
Sometimes I think I should have stayed longer and I should have done more films.
I always feel a rise in my scalp or in the backs of my wrists when something is special, whether it be a song or a man.
I love to laugh.It's the only way to live. Enjoy each day-it's not coming back again!Collection: Laughing
I have found that when you are deeply troubled, there are things you get from the silent devoted companionship of a dog that you can get from no other source.Collection: Dog
I like joy; I want to be joyous; I want to have fun on the set; I want to wear beautiful clothes and look pretty. I want to smile and I want to make people laugh. And that's all I want. I like it. I like being happy. I want to make others happy.Collection: Beautiful

When I see Liz Taylor with those Harry Winston boulders hanging from her neck I get nauseated. Not figuratively, but nauseated! All I can think of are how many dog shelters those diamonds could buy.Collection: Dog
I have never found in a human being loyalty that is comparable to a dog's loyalty.Collection: Loyalty

I couldn't walk for almost three years. That was the greatest thing that happened. Instead of dancing, I sang.Collection: Years
I've been through everything. I always said I was like those round-bottomed circus dolls — you know, those dolls you could push down and they'd come back up? I've always been like that. I've always said, No matter what happens, if I get pushed down, I'm going to come right back up.Collection: Dolls
Older, younger, anyone can help. We've learned that our legislators listen, and people with passionate and thoughtful concerns make a difference every day. We've had constituents initiate legislation, lobby for it, organize meetings and events, and, of course, call, mail, e-mail and visit legislators to express their views. It's really great to see how much difference that individuals can make.Collection: Thoughtful
Killing an animal to make a coat is sin. It wasn't meant to be, and we have no right to do it.Collection: Animal

Some of the downbeat pictures, in my opinion, should never be made at all. Most of them are made for personal satisfaction, to impress other actors who say "Oh, God! what a shot, what camera work!" But the average person in the audience, who bought his ticket to be entertained, doesn't see that at all. He comes out depressed.Collection: Average
It is heartbreaking to see so many animals in distress through the Gulf Coast region. Many of them are frightened, confused, hungry, dehydrated and lost.Collection: Confused

It's quite an experience to have filming done in your house. When they come in, they photograph every piece of furniture and where it is so they can get them back exactly where you had them. You'd never know they'd been here.Collection: House
