... I went through a very lethargic period ... I was just sort of getting through every night and every day.

I know that without treatment I would not have never been able to harness my creativity in such a successful way.

I think my real depressions started when I was about 16 and doing The Patty Duke Show. I would go to bed at about 10 o'clock on a Friday night and not get up again until 6:30 Monday morning

I still have highs and lows, just like any other person. What's missing is the lack of control over the super highs, which became destructive, and the super lows, which are immediately destructive.

I'm going to be 58, and I'm a woman. In this business, that seems to be a bigger crime than being mentally ill

No matter what your laundry list of requirements in choosing a mate, there has to be an element of good luck and good fortune and good timing.

Sometimes it is the simplest, seemingly most inane, most practical stuff that matters the most to someone.
