I have always been attracted to the bleaker aspects of life. I love drama.

To be diagnosed with cancer was a frightening thing, and my first reaction was sheer panic, but I was really fortunate that the cancer was caught at such an early stage that I didn't need chemo or radiotherapy. But I know that cancer is a chronic condition, and once you've had it, you're on the list, because it can come back.

Never apologize, never explain - didn't we always say that? Well, I haven't and I don't.

It's always a good idea to get yourself a famous, rich, and groovy young man. That's one of the best-known methods of furthering your career.

I think it's a great shame that America stopped being a republic and became an empire.

Life has changed. People have changed. They are more forgiving, less inclined to rush to judgment. And I have changed.

I do take care of myself; I get my nails done, and I have a skin doctor, but that's it. I'm clean and groomed.
