I turned into a workaholic to the point of where my health was in jeopardy.

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

All the things that happen to people in the industry today, the actors, what they have to put up with, all the people wanting to know every single moment of their lives - I think it's really sad.

I knew Jimmy Dean. He tested for 'Battle Cry'. Paul Newman tested for 'Battle Cry'. I did nine tests to finally get that role.

A lot has been written about Tony Perkins and myself and I figured, Let's get it straight. I had a relationship with Tony for two to three years, but those are only threads in the tapestry of my whole life.

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

I lived a very don't-ask, don't-tell life.
