Usually New York has lousy salads.

I gave it all that I had, and it's gratifying that others seem to be receiving it so well.

I never dreamt of being in the movies. I was from a very average, I would say, a rather poor family, so my big treat was to work hard all week - I mowed lawns and babysat and washed dishes and washed cars - to go to the movies.

I wasn't wattching television when I was a youngster; there was the radio.

I'm very strict with myself. I'm an Aries and sort of a challenge to myself.

When I was doing theater in the 1950's, 60's and 70's we weren't allowed to film any of the shows that I did, it was against union rules. It was a stupid law, because so much is lost. We now have no record of these famous stage plays, so it turned out to be very narrow-minded thinking.

I did win [on a contest]. And that started me on a new path, and into show business.
