My Mother Has Always Been My Role

I Was So Honored When Diane Sawyer Named Me "person Of The Week," And Like I Told Her, "diane, I Love My Daughter." I Cried When I Found Out When She Told Me She Was Gay When She Was 17 Because Of The Judgment.

You Can Do Everything You Can To Try To Stop Bad Things From Happening To You, But Eventually Things Will Happen, So The Best Prevention Is A Positive Attitude.

I Don't Know So Much About My Boys, But My Girls, They All Work With Me. They Know How To Work. My Daughters Know It's Not Done Till It's Done, Even If It's Three Or Four In The Morning. I Don't Want Them To Grow Up With Entitlement.

I Feel Blessed - I Am A Woman Who Has Been Able To Work In The Entertainment Business For Five Decades. I Don't Want To Age, But I Would Never Take Back A Year For The Wisdom I've Gained In That Time.

My Mother Never Asked Me To Do Anything She Wouldn't Do Herself. She Always Taught By Example.
