I like boys. I am not foreign; I was born and raised in Hickory County, Mo.

When I first came out with my fans and the wind hit me, I almost took off.

They planned this fair to bring business to Chicago, into the Loop. But you could have fired a cannon down state street and hit nobody, because everybody was out at the fair.

If you love living, you try to take care of the equipment.

What in heaven’s name is strange about a grandmother dancing nude? I’ll bet lots of grandmothers do it.

I’m not the type to sit on the porch and watch life go by.

I’m the original.

I haven’t been out of work since the day I took my pants off.

I have never retired – I have averaged 40 working weeks a year since 1933.
