I was afraid I would get the Oscar for 'Irma La Douce' because it was popular. But I didn't want to because I didn't really think it was that good.

I have never seen myself as leading for others. What's important is that I know who I am. Not completely. But I'm coming around third base.

Perhaps the longest journey is the journey within.

I was always a character actress and never a sex symbol. Even when I was the leading lady, I was a character actor.

I think materialism has trumped a lot of stuff, but I don't think it has trumped the heart, especially when it comes to (a person's) last thought.

I have a great life, to tell you the truth.

Sometimes I feel an impingement of something I went through in another lifetime. But I like to concentrate on the absolute present. That's why I love my animals. They live in the present.
