I hope to have some more cracks at some wonderful roles before I go to the Great Beyond.

I was always playing the hard-bitten drunk.

I got more bands and went on the road and turn down more movies than you would believe.

My friends always said that I should be a comedienne - I was named my class clown.

I was also the romantic lead in The Boston Strangler - I was the only one that lived to tell the story - so I called myself the romantic lead.

I was always telling everybody that I could be funny.

Well, it was the beginning of my film career. It was amazing to me that I got nominated for an Academy Award.
