The early romance was the most romantic experience I have ever had in my life - far surpassing anything I might've dreamed of or imagined, it was quite amazing. When you are young and it's your first love and you are just carried away by it and that's all you can think about.

After the age of 30 in the movie profession, you're pretty well over as far as the casting people are concerned.

I remember my oldest son, Steve, saying to me once, 'I don't ever remember seeing you with an apron on.' And I thought, that's right, honey, you did not. That was his concept of what a mother should be.

I think your whole life shows in your face and you should be proud of that.

Each time a friend dies, the present becomes the past, in an instant.

Growing up takes longer than you think.

The best things in life are clean living, good works, and big saphires. And not in that order.
