Jayne Meadows

I have this tremendous energy. I just loved and love life. I love it today. I never want to die.

I respect his talents, even as he does mine.

Marriage, even the best marriages are tough.

I never say a funny thing intentionally.

Steve Laurence is the only person that was on the first 'Tonight Show,' right to the end. He was a little high school boy, 14 years old.

Steve is very quiet, even shy. I am very gregarious. So, opposites.

I cannot write music. I cannot play the piano.

We are not equally talented. Steve is enormously talented.

I was fed up with being just plain Jane.

The best people I know have had a lot of obstacles to overcome.

My father was a good preacher and had a little bit of drama.

I was born and raised in China, and my parents were missionaries.

I would write plays for my grandmother, who was stone deaf, my mother and the dog, that was our audience.

I never look at a note. I just roam the stage. The people do not want to leave.

My mother was the dearest, sweetest angel. She didn't talk; she sang. She was a tower of strength.

I'm too insecure to have people hate me.

There is only one secret. To love what you are doing.

I just loved and love life. I love it today.
