I've never suffered stage fright. That fascinates people.

I'll pat myself on the back and admit I have talent. Beyond that, I just happened to be in the right place at the right time

As far as dramas are concerned, it's considered passe for playwrights to turn out anything the average person can understand

I wasn't straining at the bit to become a movie star any more than I had plotted to get out of vaudeville and into Broadway musicals

Once I had the attention, all I had to do was deliver.

I'll admit - I was honored to be on the cover of Time

I mentioned that I was thinking of getting out of the business after Call Me Madam. I thought maybe I should become a homebody.
