My mother told me I should be a secretary, but I wanted to be an actress from when I was very young.

. . . it is true, even people with painful childhoods. . . grow up to be more interesting people. So, there's always a positive to a negative.

I was kind of a wild child. I wasn't taught the niceties of life.

The audience is the best judge of anything. They cannot be lied to. Truth brings them closer. A moment that lags - they're gonna cough.

You know, I can't remember my good reviews. I remember negative ones. They stay in my mind.

A large part of me is pure nebbish - plain, dull, uninteresting. There's a more flamboyant part, too. Obviously.

I don't think I'm tough in a so called tough way. I'm tough on myself.
