The terrifying thing in my life is that I am just an actress. And I have to keep pushing it and getting approval, approval, approval or I don’t think I’m worth two cents. And I am starting to get over it, thank God. And I’m just sad because I don’t have many years left and I wish I had a longer space of time to think that Elaine Stritch is okay.

I don't think there's any thrill in the world like doing work you're good at.

I’d like to discover life. Quite frankly I don’t know how to be happy. I have not a clue. I only serve — and I don’t say that with any grandeur. I just serve others through entertaining. That’s when I am happy. I’m not just delighted with myself when I’m entertaining, but I’m happier than when I’m not.

This age thing is all up to you. It's like happiness is up to you. You just have to understand what it is before you get it.

It's very disconcerting to start out and to say, "I'm going to tell the truth," and then to realize it's that much trouble.

I don't want to see a movie twice. I don't want to do anything twice.

I don't know what to do with Warren Beatty. All I know is that he wasn't attracted to me. That's all right.
