You don't die if someone doesn't like you.

I believe staying young at heart is all in one's personal attitude... you can't instill that in anyone.

Ultimately, a city is formed by its people and the women in Berkeley are just great. They are opinionated, they have ideas, they belong to boards, and they write letters to editors... really wonderful people.

C'mon, we're actors. We love the attention. We love the applause. We sure don't like to be rejected.

My middle name really is perseverance. I've always believed that I had talent, even when I felt like a very inferior sort of person, which I spent a lot of time living my life feeling that I wasn't worthy. But even then I knew that I had something special, and maybe that's what it takes. Maybe people need to have that kind of particular core driving them. But I felt I had talent.

I deliberately state my age because it keeps me honest. I think lying is a bad idea. Sooner or later, someone's going to catch you.

As you get older one tends to develop what I call a wobble. I would rather eat glass than let that happen to my voice.
