I think it was absolutely a noble cause. Kids watched it for the entertainment, but they were learning at the same time. I think it's something brilliant that deserves to be out there again.

The reason there weren't any, I am surmising, is that a lot of Latin kids, Latino kids, in those days didn't have the money to take those kind of classes.

I love performing for kids, but you can't play down to them, of course. Then it would be 'Captain Kangaroo.'

When I was nominated for the Oscar, I was absolutely positive that Judy Garland would win for 'Judgment at Nuremberg,' and then they call my name, and I was absolutely paralyzed. And I remember walking down to the stage and saying to myself, 'Don't run. It's not dignified.'

I am not exactly Mrs. Good Housekeeping, although I love to cook, bake, even iron, but only because it's not mandatory.

I live in the moment. The moment is the most important thing. That's my entire philosophy: Make the best of the good moments.
