As a teenager I studied opera, believe it or not. But I just couldn't catch on to it.
I am the least intimidating person. I think I would have done better in my career if I were a little more intimidating. Even the maid who comes to work for me once a week has found out that she can just trample over me... I'm a Cancer! We are not ferocious people.
I dislike when people try to pigeonhole me, when all I want is to do good work.
I have kept working, even if I've thrown off the big movies I used to do. I still have three or four wonderful little movies coming out.
I love coloring books. I keep some by my bed.
I love playing strong women, even if they're nuts.
I love what I do, so it's not tiring. If I worked at a computer or drove a truck, I'd be dead in a week.
I was doing bad movies as a day job. And it almost ruined my life for a while. But I have done 130-odd films, and only fourteen have been spooky ones. I'm not spooky! I want life!
I've been invited to do a trio with a fantastic jazz guitarist and a harmonica player.
If I turn on the television, am I to believe that that is America? I'm sorry, I don't believe that's America.
If you can write it, I can be it.
If you didn't know that I am an actress, I don't think you could tell from my lifestyle. I cook and cook and cook. I like to be with my daughter. She's 16, so of course I bore her.
Illiteracy is rampant. People are out of communication.
There is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
There were all these rumors about me... so I went indoors. No one saw me for years. And since I wasn't around, people believed what they wanted.
The Peking man was a thinking being, standing erect, dating to the beginning of the Ice Age.
