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."

The purpose of etiquette is to provide an easy set of rules which we can follow when we are in a hurry and want to make sure that we do not give offense to anybody.

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

I'd been out of the movies for years, I had had a wonderful stage career, yes, in musicals and so on, but you don't really make any money in the theater.

I never regretted what I turned down.

When I opened up in "Gaslight," for instance, playing that narky maid, that all came about from my experience and my training up to that point, and so nothing was wasted.

The older I get, the more I realize how much I have missed because I was so busy entertaining that audience and so busy pursuing a career.
