Ethel Merman

Of my four marriages, the one to Bob Levitt is the only one I don't regret.

Everything's coming up roses - for me.

As far as dramas are concerned, it's considered passe for playwrights to turn out anything the average person can understand.

I cannot cook to save my life. I'm really frighteningly useless, when you get down to it.

I don't really go out that much, if I'm honest. I'm quite a recluse. If I had my way, I'd probably be at home most of the time with a book and a cup of tea or glass of wine.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.
