I hated the makeup. I hated all that pancake makeup. I didn't really like dressing for parts.

I actually had another motivation for letting Steven [Sebring] film us. After I'd been out of the public eye for 16 years, lost my friends and lost my husband, some of my confidence had been undermined. Steven made the process of filming fun; I could pretend that we were in something like Don't Look Back.

The two things that constantly inspired me were books and travel.

I think it's important for people to realize that we were all young, all naive, and also we had lived in a time that had magic.

I was always trying to pick guys up. I'd ask guys out and stuff like that. I had no pride. I was the biggest lurch at dances, waiting for the ladies' choice. I'd lunge at my prey like a baby wolf.

Good news doesn't necessarily have to be a positive thing. Bringing good news is imparting hope to one's fellow man.

I didn't have any career design. I was not thinking about publishing or doing a record. I was just working. I was evolving. I wanted to really comprehend what I was doing before stepping too far out.
