I basically put myself into directors' hands and let them tell me what to do, and the more they told me what to do, the more I liked it.

Early on, I found the attention completely embarrassing. I'd cringe if I saw my picture on the cover of a magazine.

I did things like Shampoo and Heaven Can Wait. I don't know what those films were about. The women I played in them were not very empowered.

I don't think men see any lusty sexiness in me. The appealing thing is an air of abandonment. Men don't want any responsibility, and neither do I.

I've never quite understood why people marry; marriage is just an invented structure

Living in America, I became aware of many issues and went through a period of politicization

I think there has always been an obsession with youth and beauty. What's missing is the equal obsession with respect for…older people…and their wisdom and knowledge and courage.
