Once in a while a good opportunity would come along, like the first 'Playhouse 90 ever to air - working in television afforded me my best opportunities. The (film) industry was going through such turmoil at the time - studios didn't know where to go anymore, they were falling apart, television was there. They didn't know what kind of films people wanted. The European films were making a huge impact because those films wanted real people in real situations.

I don't care whether people like me or dislike me. I'm not on earth to win a popularity contest. I'm here to be the best human being I possibly can be.

I did Polyester, and I dont regret one minute of it. It was wonderful.

Rock Hudson wasn't my type. He's a great guy and had a great sense of humor.

I'd work for John Waters again, because he's so off the wall.

John Wayne treated me fine, but that macho stuff turns me off. It's not real.

People believe what they want to believe.
