- Someone who doesn't like gays cannot be a friend of mine. [May 2004]
- I loved to drive, I loved sports cars. The nicest I had, was the first one I got from my husband. It was from America, light blue, red interior, a convertible. You just pushed a button and the roof went down. It must have been 1953.
- You know, when you get to my age... last year I went to 21 funerals. [on the phone to a reporter, May 2004]
- [May 2004, aged 85] All I got to look forward to, is death. I think back on everything I've experienced and I've led a fantastic, rich life. Just one day of my life would have been wonderful to many others. But death is the only thing in front of me. I have no rehearsels to get to. I have no projects, as they are called nowadays. That's why I feel so bad for the unemployed. That has to be the worst thing that can happen to you, having no job to go to.
