If our work is stimulating and rewarding, if it pushes us to grow...we become more valuable human beings.

When you think you can't do any more repetitions, do two more.

When I was in my 40s was I simply produced my own movies because no one offered me anything. But certainly after 50 it's hard for a woman, which is why television is such a welcoming thing.

The glow and energy of the healthy woman is the ultimate beauty, the only beauty that will last.

I would like to say something, not just to Vietnam veterans in New England, but to men who were in Vietnam, who I hurt, or whose pain I caused to deepen because of the things that I said or did. I was trying to help end the killing and the war, but there were times when I was thoughtless and careless about it and I'm...very sorry that I hurt them. And I want to apologize to them and their families.

That's what we're all doing: paving the way, finding the roles that have the complication instead of the one that's always got it together or the dedicated housewife or the wild one who smokes cigarettes and sleeps with anybody.

I am not a do-gooder. I am a revolutionary. A revolutionary woman.
