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.

I certainly was not the romantic lead. I couldn't be that, because I was not that good looking. And that is something about Hollywood that I do not like at all. Why can't a woman who is just normally good looking fall in love? I mean, everybody in the movies is so good looking.

I love holidays in New York. I love `em. I want to celebrate something all the time and New York has holidays for every day of the week, practically. I like holidays in New York City.

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.

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 felt that I committed myself too much. I promised too much. But that way it's exciting.

This is a time in my life where I'm gonna behave like an elegant human being. Or not.
