"Mom claimed that I could carry a tune at 2 or 3 years of age. Maybe she was a little prejudiced." ― Ethel Merman Topic(s): Age More From Ethel Merman "When I’m asked how to succeed in show business, I always say I haven’t the foggiest." "Eisenhower was my war hero and the President I admire and respect most." "Christmas carols always brought tears to my eyes. I also cry at weddings. I should have cried at a couple of my own." More In Age "We live in an age, in an era where there is so much negativity, there is so much violence in the world, there is so much unrest and people are at war, that I wanted to promote the word love and red signifies love."― Elton John "I have a fear of poverty in old age. I have this vision of myself living in a skip and eating cat food. It’s because I’m freelance, and I’ve never had a proper job. I don’t have a pension, and my savings are dwindling. I always thought someone would just come along and look after me."― Jenny Eclair "It is the spirit of the age to believe that any fact, no matter how suspect, is superior to any imaginative exercise, no matter how true."― Gore Vidal
