Three things have helped me successfully go through the ordeals of life -- an understanding husband, a good analyst and millions of dollars.

I have always been a combination of both security and insecurity.

There is a dark side. I tend not to be as optimistic as Mary Richards. I have an anger in me that I carry from my childhood experiences - I expect a lot of myself and I'm not too kind to myself.

I don't know how to do the other, so I won't even consider television until the audience's taste changes.

Worrying is a necessary part of life.

I just like the continue doing what I've been doing. A melange of funny, straight drama, television, movies, a little theater here and there wouldn't hurt. So if I can keep doing that, I'll be a very happy person.
