I think everybody needs a passion. Whether it's one passion or a hundred, that's what keep life interesting.

Kindness and consideration of somebody besides yourself. I think that keeps you feeling young. I really do.

I've enjoyed the opposite sex a lot. Always have. Always will.

I didn't know I was a gay icon. I get a lot of mail - but I don't get many bad letters - but I got a woman the other day that was so upset with me because they said, 'How do you feel about the gay marriage thing?' and my answer to that is, 'I really don't care with whom you sleep, I just care what kind of a decent human being you are.' I figure all the rest of it is your business and not mine. And not hers, incidentally.

There is no fool like an old fool.

I was one of the first women producers in Hollywood.
