I Have Been Ambitious To Be A

I Take A Breath When I Have To.

There Have Been People Who Have Tried To Take Advantage Of Me. They Want To Be Linked To Me Just Because I'm Ethel Merman.

Broadway Has Been Very Good To Me. But Then, I've Been Very Good To Broadway.

I Attend Surprisingly Few Shows. The Type Of Theater That Is Popular Today Just Doesn't Appeal To Me.

The Only Things I Read Are Gossip Columns. If I Read Three Pages Of A Book, I'm Out Like A Light. When I Pick Up The Book Again, I've Forgotten What I've Read And Have To Start Over Again. By Page Three, Even If I've Just Awakened From A Nine -hour Nap, I Fall Asleep Again. So If Anyone Gives Me A Book, It Had Better Have Lots Of Pictures.
