The truth is that in my job, becoming old and becoming extinct are one and the same thing.

Husbands are like fires - they go out when they're left unattended.

I'm not a role model, nor have I ever tried to be a role model. The only thing about me as a role model is I've managed to stay here and be working and survive. For 40 years.

I only answer to two people, myself and God.

Honesty makes me feel powerful in a difficult world.

I love ghosts, I prefer ghosts to some people.

I don't need a man. But I'm happier with one. I like to have someone I can touch and squeeze and kiss. But I don't fold up and die if I don't have a man around.
