Creativity Quote by Eydie Gorme

A celebrity thank-you can be its own kind of performance, and Eydie Gorme's line lands squarely in that tradition: gracious, slightly evasive, expertly paced. "So many questions" signals a public hungry for access, for the backstage version of a life that mostly arrives through microphones and TV cameras. But it also establishes a boundary. She acknowledges the demand without promising to satisfy it, letting volume ("so many") do the diplomatic work of saying: I can't possibly get to all of this.

The second half tilts from curiosity to affirmation: "so many personal compliments that we appreciate so very much". The phrasing is collective - "we", not "I" - which subtly shifts the spotlight away from the individual diva and toward the partnership at the heart of Gorme's public identity, especially in the era when she and Steve Lawrence were sold as a unit: marriage, showbiz, and mass appeal braided together. That "we" also spreads the emotional labor; appreciation becomes a shared stance, not a confessional moment.

What's effective is how the sentence performs humility without surrendering control. It's warm but nonspecific, affectionate but carefully noncommittal. The repetition of "so" and the gentle redundancy ("appreciate so very much") mimic the cadence of a stage-side sign-off - the kind designed to keep the audience feeling seen while the curtain is already falling. In an entertainment culture built on intimacy, it's intimacy with a lock on it.
