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.

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.

I have never directed. But I think I could. I have thought about it. I'm a bit long in the tooth to start.

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

As a kid, I just was a contract player at MGM Studios. They put me into goodness knows how many different roles.Some of them were wonderful and some of them were very just distasteful and awful because I was playing out of my age range and I was thoroughly uncomfortable, let's put it that way. So it took me many years to find my acting feet.

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