(Royal Robbins)
Yeah I'm thirty-six, but on the show I'm thirty-two. Nobody wants to watch a thirty-six year old woman, so they decided to make me thirty-two. Much more appealing somehow.
(Ellen DeGeneres)
Somebody says, Well, I cant be concerned about other people. About the best I can do is to take care of myself. Well, then you will always be poor.
