“The arts have a wonderful ability to bring people together, which constitutes an essential contribution to the health of our society.”

“Age is just a number, and mine is unlisted.”

“I've never been a millionaire but I just know I'd be darling at it.”

“The arts are not a frill. The arts are a response to our individuality and our nature, and help to shape our identity.”

“My advice to you is not to inquire why or whither, but just enjoy your ice cream while it's on your plate - that's my philosophy.”

“I get a standing ovation just for being 90.”

“I'm a workaholic. I love every movie I've been in, even the bad ones, every TV series, every play, because I love to work.”

“We're all born with the power to change our lives. It's a matter of whether we use it.”
