Additional quotes by Shirley Jones

I tell the story of my life, how I got into show business, my two husbands and, of course, we show a lot of photographs.

To tell you the truth, I was never attracted to handsome men because they were so attracted to themselves!

And I thought, I want to tell people who I am, the life that I had as a child, being married all my life. I mean, you know, I never had affairs with a lot of men; that was not my case. But I was very devoted to the two husbands I've had.

But I could sing. It was given to me; it was a gift. And I thought everybody could sing. - Shirley Jones
