I don't think about going back to the theater.

We all have levels of performance.

Everything I did actually helped to build the revenue, shall we say, of experience, which enabled me to play a variety of roles as I got older.

You just have to be open and ready, and let it all happen.

Im in a very enviable position, being able to work like this 45 years later. Its always beginning! I never have a sense of finishing up, just new things beginning. When I die, theyre going to carry me off a stage.

Well oddly enough, I liken the years at MGM, and I was there for about eight years, to doing stock, what we used to call repertory or stock, playing a whole bunch of different roles.

I think of myself as a journeyman actress. I will attempt almost anything that I think that I can bring off. It could be almost anything.
