When I go, if there's a tombstone it will say, She doesn't give in. She doesn't give up. And she never takes no for an answer.

There's no magazine you open, unless its AARP, that shows a woman over the age of 45 in any other light, other than having to buy Depends or Viagra.

I'm learning something all the time. That's the way I want it to go, and that's the way I'll go until I am no longer on this planet.

Everybody's a teacher if you listen.

When I was in kindergarten, I had one line in a little play. I said, I am Patrick Potato and this is my cousin, Mrs. Tomato, and I heard laughter. I wanted to be an actress from that moment on.

I used to sit near Marilyn Monroe in the Actor's Studio. She'd get dressed up because that was her identity. Sad. Those cameras wouldn't leave her alone. She didn't know where to hide.

If someone is mean, harmful, or evil, they're out of my life. I cross them out.
