I'm living out a childhood fantasy. Our house is in a historic district of a small town that I used to read about in storybooks

You can have manic depression without having an ounce of creativity

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 never did quite fit the glamour mode. It is life with my husband and family that is my high now.

Actors take risks all the time. We put ourselves on the line. It is creative to be able to interpret someone's words and breathe life into them.

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 can't tell you what I had for breakfast, but I can sing every single word of rock and roll
