Like I said, I'm just grateful when anyone offers me a job. It's like, "Okay. I'll do it." FBI agent is one, too, when you get older. When you're kind of an older lady hard-ass, FBI tends to happen. It's just because I'd like to work rather than not work, so I'm just happy if somebody wants me to do anything.

I guess I just prefer to see the dark side of things.

People think that you are a nasty, selfish person if you don`t want to have children.

I don't have a good work ethic. I have a real casual relationship with hours.

If you aren't overly effusive or really nicey-nice with the press, you get a reputation for being outspoken or difficult.

I was just utterly oblivious to how difficult it was, and how difficult it was going to be, and then also in the mid-eighties through the mid-nineties there was a boom of sorts. So there were plenty of stages. If I had started now, there would be very few places to get better and better.

Blood may be thicker than water, but it is still sticky, unpleasant and generally nauseating.
