I Learned By Standing In The Wings

How Oddly Do Life And Death Jostle Each Other In This Strange World Of Ours! How Nearly Allied Are Smiles And Tears!

I've Always Been The Breadwinner And Men Don't Like That. They Turn On You. They Bite The Hand That Feeds Them. Eventually, Too, They Become Very Jealous Of The Love One Has With An Audience.

I Learned By Standing In The Wings And Watching Established Acts On Stage.

I Wanted To Be A Model; I Wanted To Be A Nurse; I Wanted To Be So Many Things, Almost Anything But Being Part Of Show Business.

I'm Always Being Asked If I Watch 'the X Factor,' And I Do From Time To Time. I Know It Makes For Great Tv And That Simon Cowell Has A Real Gift.
