I have a lot of friends who are around. I'm having a wonderful time in my life now with my platonic relationships with men and women, because when that sexual tension is off the requirement of the interplay, then you get to who the people really are, and to yourself.

I do miss the stage. There's nothing like it, nothing. When I did my one-woman show and played the Palace and played the Gershwin and all that, I did - what? - eight shows or maybe more a week. Of course you can't do anything else, and you can't run quickly for a cab in the rain, and you can't have a drunken love affair. You can't do any of that. Because you've got to be perfectly healthy. And I guess I value enjoying my life a little bit more than the discipline these days.

I wasn't afraid of getting old, because I was never a great beauty.

I had a video made of my recent knee operation. The doctor said it was the best movie I ever starred in.

It is incredible, when you start believing in angels your life becomes a lot smoother.

I don't have an assistant. I make a lot of people around me my slaves, but no assistant.

New York is the perfect town for getting over a disappointment, a loss, or a broken heart.
