“I like things to be orderly. For seven years I ate at Bob's Big Boy. I would go at 2:30, after the lunch rush. I ate a chocolate shake and four, five, six, seven cups of coffee-with lots of sugar. And there's lots of sugar in that chocolate shake. It's a thick shake. In a silver goblet. I would get a rush from all this sugar, and I would get so many ideas! I would write them on these napkins.

When you become a successful individual, and have a thousand tasks going on, you forget that there are people in need. It keeps me grounded.”
“I can always remember the dances, even from shows I did 40 years ago.”
