It took me getting to my 50s before I could say "Whatever!" about other people's criticism, especially when it's not true.

I haven't had an orthodox career.

I never really address myself to any image anybody has of me. That's like fighting with ghosts.

Don't you be afraid, sweetheart. Death is just a part of life, something we're all destined to do.

I was just lucky enough to grow up in a time when they actually had drama departments in schools.

I wouldnt mind having my heart broken because it would mean that I had that much feeling connected to somebody. And that would be really great.

I've had such an odd career. I always wanted to be a great actor. I wanted to be Katharine Hepburn - ish - there was a bit of nobility about her. Instead I've always felt like the mutt standing on the sidelines, panting and saying, "Me, too! How about me?" That's just part of my personality.
