In most states, it's more difficult to get a license for your dog than it is to buy a big cat. Right now, there are more tigers in the state of Texas than in all of India.

There were so many people who wanted me for their films.

Being the object of Alfred Hitchcock's obsession was horrific, but while he ruined my career, he could never ruin my life.

Birds I am fine with - spiders are an entirely different matter.

I kind of look at my modeling career and the Alfred Hitchcock years as stepping stones to what I'm doing now.

Honest to God, all my life I have had such a fear of spiders. In fact, I use to have a reoccurring dream about one. Very clearly, it was black with a red head. It would sit up in the corner of the bedroom and when it started getting closer, I would wake up in a panic.

I was at the end of the studio system so when I walked into movies, I had a magnificent suite in which I had a living room and a kitchen and a complete makeup room. I had everything just for me. With the independents, you're kind of roughing it, literally.
