If I go to a party, I'm not one to be the funniest person in the room at all.

My grandmother and I would go see movies, and we'd come back to the apartment - we had a one-room apartment in Hollywood - and I would kind of lock myself in this little dressing room area with a cracked mirror on the door and act out what I had just seen.

I'm not a person who likes to confront.

When you have a dream, you've got to grab it and never let go.

I am not a person who yells at all, but I realized that I have always felt so good after doing the Tarzan yell, after doing Charo, or screaming as Eunice.

You have to go through the falling down in order to learn to walk. It helps to know that you can survive it. That's an education in itself.
