John Candy knew he was going to die. He told me on his 40th birthday. He said, well, Maureen, I'm on borrowed time.

Working with Ty Power was exciting. In those days, he was the biggest romantic swashbuckler in the world. Murderously handsome! But what I loved most about Ty Power was his wicked sense of humor.

The Parent Trap wouldn't have been as special without the remarkable performances by Hayley Mills.

A sense of belonging is a sine qua non of healthy psychological functioning everywhere. Such a sense, beginning in infancy and continuing throughout life, comes about by experiencing mutual empathy; by sensing oneself as part of a whole, which recognizes and accepts that one is a member.

The depth of John Candy's talent did surprise me. He was one of my all-time favorite leading men.

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

The Parent Trap gave my career another boost, starring in family comedies.
