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

In reality, people are people. Age does a weird thing to your body on the outside. It makes your face fall and weird things happen all over. But inside, you're the same person you always were.

I've grown used to being lonely over the years, so I don't seek to change it. But aren't there many people who are lonely?

All people want on this earth is to connect with others. Other than eating and sleeping. Human beings need to connect with other human beings. Otherwise, they lose their mind.

I haven't had an orthodox career, and I've wanted more than anything to have your respect. The first time I didn't feel it, but this time I feel it, and I can't deny the fact that you like me, right now, you like me!

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

If I hadn't fought back, I might have been Gidget forever.
