In My Case, Things Have Pretty Much

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.

Mom Claimed That I Could Carry A Tune At 2 Or 3 Years Of Age. Maybe She Was A Little Prejudiced.

I Preferred Delivering My Performance In Person. I Liked To Be In Control. You Couldn't Be In Films.

I Am Known To Be Able To Take Care Of Myself When I Become Angry. I Don't Mince Words.

I Remember Tallulah (bankhead) Telling Of Going Into A Public Ladies' Room And Discovering There Was No Toilet Tissue. She Looked Underneath The Booth And Said To The Lady In The Next Stall, 'i Beg Your Pardon, Do You Happen To Have Any Toilet Tissue In There?' The Lady Said No. So Tallulah Said, 'well, Then, Dahling, Do You Have Two Fives For A Ten?'
