I honestly consider that the greatest gift to me, is the reaction that I get from my work. That is a given which I never, ever take for granted. But to be given that by audiences, individuals, on the street, in the theater, is an extraordinary feeling.

I really wanted to go back to the theater, the live theater. That was the thing I had never had a chance to do, even though I had trained to be a stage actress.

Here I am, I still go on, you know, like the tides.

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

The theater is magical and addictive.

All I knew how to do was to act. That's the only thing I had in my favor. That was the thing that propelled me forward.
