I am like many of the women I have played onscreen.

Comedy is difficult, especially slapstick. The trick is to have fun while you are performing it.

Henry Fonda gave me a spanking during a scene in Spencer's Mountain.

John Wayne is not just an actor, and a very fine actor - John Wayne is the United States of America.

Being an Irishwoman means many things to me. An Irishwoman is strong and feisty. She has guts and stands up for what she believes in. She believes she is the best at whatever she does and proceeds through life with that knowledge. She can face any hazard that life throws her way and stay with it until she wins. She is loyal to her kinsmen and accepting of others. She's not above a sock in the jaw if you have it coming.

I didn't let anyone push me into things I didn't want to do where my career was concerned. So why did I crumble when it came to men?

Comedy is quite difficult, you have to be able to have fun and portray that sense of fun to the audience watching you.
