I always feel a rise in my scalp or in the backs of my wrists when something is special, whether it be a song or a man.
— Doris Day
When I was a teeny little girl, I was in dancing school, and I sang. We had to put a dance to a song, so I went to the 10-cent store one day and looked at all the sheet music. It was all laid out, and I picked 'Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries.'

If I'd find a dog, I'd try to find the owner, of course, but it was mine! I just can't live without them; I love them so much. I have cats, too.

I like joy; I want to be joyous; I want to have fun on the set; I want to wear beautiful clothes and look pretty. I want to smile, and I want to make people laugh. And that's all I want. I like it. I like being happy. I want to make others happy.

Sometimes I think I should have stayed longer and I should have done more films.
I rented a place that I could have dogs - not in my house. I rented a big place. And I was able to have the SPCA every end of the week bring many, many dogs to me. They all were in nice places, clean, everything was fine. I took good care of them. And so many people called.
Gratitude is riches. Complaint is poverty.
I've never met an animal I didn't like, and I can't say the same thing about people.
I'm going to do as much as I can for the animal world, and I'll never stop.
When I was a teeny little girl, I was in dancing school, and I sang.
Well I do find the beauty in animals. I find beauty everywhere. I find beauty in my garden.
Wrinkles are hereditary. Parents get them from their children.
Middle age is youth without levity, and age without decay.
