Personal Life
Diller, a longtime resident of the Brentwood area of Los Angeles, California, credited much of her success to Bob Hope, in large part because he included her in many of his movies and his Vietnam USO shows. She was an accomplished pianist and a painter.
Diller credited much of her success to a motivational book, The Magic of Believing (1948) by Claude M Bristol, which gave her confidence at the start of her career. The book was also an inspiration for her friend, Liberace.

Famous quotes related to personal life:
“Wherever the State touches the personal life of the infant, the child, the youth, or the aged, helpless, defective in mind, body or moral nature, there the State enters ‘woman’s peculiar sphere,’ her sphere of motherly succor and training, her sphere of sympathetic and self-sacrificing ministration to individual lives.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
