We had a lion that was living in somebody's basement outside of Branson, Missouri.

I really like birds. Everyone always wants me to say that I can't stand to go near them, just like they want Janet Leigh to confess that she can't bear to take a shower. Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you.

He was such a fabulous drama coach. What better person to have than Alfred Hitchcock? His work as a director was impeccable. I learned so much.

Working with Chaplin was very amusing and strange. His films are so funny, but working with him, I found him to be a very serious man. Whereas the films of Hitchcock are macabre, he could be a very funny man to work with, always telling jokes and holding court. Of course, when I worked with Charlie he was getting older.

To be the object of somebody's obsession is a really awful feeling when you can't return it.

So I think it is common knowledge that Hitchcock had fantasies or whatever you want to call them about his leading ladies.

I had to have help getting up these stairs because I've been tackled by so many lions and tigers. Really. I'm like an old football player.
