I'm a fan. My grandchildren are fans. I wish I'd written the books.
Stardom isn't a profession, it's an accident.
It's not an old movie if you haven't seen it.
Acting is a life of rejection.
No one has ever written a romance better than we lived it.
[Katharine Hepburn] was much stronger, much more opinionated than I am or ever was, and it was considered attractive on her. But not on me. I don't know. Maybe her Bryn Mawr accent was more appealing than mine.
I find that through the sad times, work is what made my continuing, not breaking down, possible. In work, I was always someone else and I subconsciously reveled in that.
I figure if I have my health, can pay the rent and I have my friends, I call it 'content.'
Looking at yourself in a mirror isn't exactly a study of life.
I'm total, total, total liberal and proud of it.
I am essentially a loner.
In the world of relationships, possibly the most complicated, uncommon, hard to find, hard to keep and most rewarding has got to be friendship.
I always thought I had crooked eyebrows and crooked teeth. That's why I never understood why people called me a beauty.
You can't start worrying about what's going to happen. You get spastic enough worrying about what's happening now.
