I earn and pay my own way as a great many women do today.

I never wanted to set the world on fire. So I never had to burn any bridges behind me.

Trouble is a part of life, and if you don't share it, you don't give the person who loves you enough chance to love you enough.

I earn and pay my own way as a great many women do today. Why should unmarried women be discriminated against - unmarried men are not.

I'd like people to remember that I really tried everything within my range of reality. And that whatever I did, I did with all my heart.

Tennis is like a wonderful, longstanding relationship with a husband. Golf is a tempestuous, lousy lover; it's totally unpredicatable, a constant surprise.

Trouble is part of your life

And I've never taken up a sport just because it was a social fad.

It's a faithless love, but you hit four good shots and you've started your day right.

I can't remember a time when I wasn't singing.

When I was four or five, my father had a general store in Winchester and I don't think the farmers could ever leave on Saturday afternoon until I had been placed up on the counter to sing.

Time flies when you're falling down"...(not from a book, it's a lyric)

Kids are more advanced these days. The teenage years now start at 11.

Nations, as well as man, almost always betray the most prominent features of their future destiny in their earliest years.

The press, or at least most of it, has lost the passion, the outrage, and the sense of mission that once drove reporters to defy authority and tell the truth.

Do the things that interest you and do them with all your heart. Don't be concerned about whether people are watching you or criticizing you. The chances are that they aren't paying attention to you.

We believe that unless we give opportunity to the strong and able, we shall never have the means to provide real protection for the weak and the old.

Men are the cause of women not loving one another. [Fr., Les hommes sont la cause que les femmes ne s'aiment point.]

If I choose abstraction over reality, it is because I consider it the lesser chaos.

Playing safe is very risky.

In November I'll be releasing my new solo record, entitled 'Box Of Bees'. There's no music, it's just a box full of live bees. The deluxe edition comes with more bees.
