Smoking ages you quicker than almost anything else.

I always said, 'A blind dog with three legs could get a standing ovation for singing 'I'm Still Here!''

The secret Ive lived by ever since I started earning money is this: Always buy a house with an extra bedroom adjoining the master. And thats always my closet.

I was fanatically ambitious. All I ever wanted was to be a star. I didnt want to be a singer. I didnt want to be an actress. I wanted to be a star.

The thing is, when you see your old friends, you come face to face with yourself. I run into someone I've known for 40 or 50 years, and they're old. And I suddenly realize I'm old. It comes as an enormous shock to me.

I saw several actresses play the part. I did not in fact, as far as I know, do anything that any of the other actresses did. I don't think actresses do that. I think that what we do is we see a role as a role, we don't see it as a person. We look at the role and think, 'What can I, as an actor, bring to that part?

Imitation is the sincerest form of insecurity.
