My mother was one of seven girls whose parents went to bed hungry so their children wouldn't. My father lost his mother when he was nine. He left school and went to work for the next 70 years. They emigrated to America with little more than the hope of a better life.

All kids need is a little help a little hope and somebody who believes in them.

When I was young my ambition was to be one of the people who made a difference in this world. My hope is to leave the world a little better for having been there.

Yesterday I was a dog. Today I'm a dog. Tomorrow I'll probably still be a dog. Sigh! There's so little hope for advancement.

Be prepared work hard and hope for a little luck. Recognize that the harder you work and the better prepared you are the more luck you might have.

A whole stack of memories never equal one little hope.

I have a little kitchen office at home where I do all my kids' stuff.

I speak relatively little except when I'm at home and I'm asking for things.

At home in Victoria we have three dogs Tosh and Lucy they're half Blue Heelers and then there's Torrin a little Maltese terrier. She gets more attention in the house than anyone else! Yes I miss them a lot.

With all the hundreds of dresses and shoes I have it would be an absolute crime if I don't have a little girl. I have a whole room at home filled with my stage wear.
