Fame overcomes everything.
I met Peter Sellers when I was 21 and we got married ten days later. He was not right mentally, but I hung in there for four years before I left.
I was brought up very conservatively. My father was positively Victorian - I wasn't even allowed to wear my hair down.
He was so mean it hurt him to go to the bathroom.
The ideal man doesn't exist. A husband is easier to find.
I would make a poor vegetarian because I adore meat.
I am as far from a hypochondriac as you could ever be.
I've been doing Pilates since 1974, I lift weights, I power walk every day and I run backwards. That's sometimes a little hard when you're not on your home turf, because you've got to find a place where there are no bumps in the way - or people.
There are so many young women who throw their talent away.
I spend hours mowing the lawn in absolutely straight lines on my tractor. If it's not right, I do it again.
I have always worked and I would say I'm generous with money - if somebody needed anything I would always give it to them.
George Hamilton is one of the funniest men I have ever known.
Little bitty bags are completely impractical - I like big slouchy bags because they have to be comfortable for my lovely wee Chihuahua Tequila, who comes everywhere with me. I'm devoted to him, now my kids have long since flown the nest.
This is the moment behind which I could forget every other moment that has passed.
