My daughter used to sit and watch Murder, She Wrote. I tried to watch with her, but I fell asleep.

I played the Piccadilly Theater with "Gypsy" and also the Old Vic, and I've done other shows in London, but not for 40 years.

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

Believe me, it jabs you. When you're on the side of buses and New York loves you, you love to go out there every night. It's like a race. Curtain opens, out you go, and New York is yours.

I very seldom said no, and I was aided and abetted by my husband, who realized that the one thing I could do was to be a very good actress, by his note.

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.

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."
