Mystery is something that appeals to most everybody.

I had no idea that such a thing could happen. It never occurred to me.My son told me. He called me and said, "Darling, I just wanted you to know that you have been chosen to receive an honorary Academy Award." I was in the back of this car, and I said, "Oh," and burst into tears, of course, because it was so unexpected and quite wonderful. I thought it's been worth hanging around all these years.

The Manchurian Candidate was the most important movie I was in, let's face it.

I can't say that I deserve longlife; I don't. I've just been around long enough. They say, "My God, she's still here."

Unfortunately, because the theater is always a poor relation when it comes to making the nut, it's not easy to get the audience in to see a play, unless you have a name that is recognizable, that the audience wants to see and is prepared to pay the $125 to see.

I was put under contract. A major studio. I got nominated for an Academy Award. Isn't that ridiculous? I mean, at the age of 18!

I'm the bionic woman. I have a very strong constitution, and I take excruciatingly good care of myself.
