I fairly often have thought how lucky I was. I knew everybody because I was married to Bogie, and that 25-year difference was the most fantastic thing for me to have in my life.
Young people, even in Hollywood, ask me, 'Were you really married to Humphrey Bogart?' 'Well, yes, I think I was,' I reply.
I always brought up my children not to believe in Mothers Day gifts, and now I regret it.
His attention span was not long, shall we say?
I'm a total Democrat. I'm anti-Republican. And it's only fair that you know it... I'm liberal. The L word!
When everything happens to you when you're so young, you're very lucky, but by the same token, you're never going to have that same feeling again. The first time anything happens to you - your first love, your first success - the second one is never the same.
They think actors are freaks - that we're a lot of drunks who party all the time and never work. Well, I for one work my tail off.
The biggest misconception people have about me is that I'm in control of every situation. I'm rarely in control of any situation.
No, I'm afraid they might slip and hit a nerve and I'd end up with one side of my face hanging down or something. I'll just stick with this one for a while and take my chances. I'll be brave.
Always I'm feeling, 'You're never going to work again.' That's going to happen one day, but I hope I'm not alive.
Sophie, my dog, is the high in the highlights of my life. Even through rain, snow, ice, and general laziness, she is the reason I smile when I wake up and a comfort to me continually. I could never have imagined that a now five-pound, six-ounce dog would take over my life. But it has happened, and I am happy to have someone to look after and share my moods with.
As long as I can walk and talk, I'll try almost anything. I say "almost" because the high wire is definitely out.
If goodness is its own reward, shouldn't we get a little something for being naughty?
I'm not a sedentary person. I've always been active.
