I don't want to die without knowing who I am.

I am still baffled by those who feel that criticizing America is unpatriotic, a view increasingly being adopted in the United States since 9/11 as an excuse to render suspect what has always been an American right. An active, brave, outspoken (and heard) citizenry is essential to a healthy democracy.

I was raised in the '50s. I was taught by my father that how I looked was all that mattered.

I wasn't a hippie and I wasn't even a bohemian. I was extremely earnest and serious.

Emotionality is really easy for me. My father always said that Fondas can cry at a good steak.

I will go to my grave regretting the photograph of me in an anti-aircraft carrier [actually, it was in an anti-aircraft gun emplacement, not a carrier], which looks like I was trying to shoot at American planes. [Actually, that was her intention in posing for the photograph the way she did.] It hurt so many soldiers. It galvanized such hostility. It was the most horrible thing I could possibly have done. It was just thoughtless.

Drink water between meals instead of with them so that the digestive juices will not be diluted.
